Intro: D-Bm-F#m-G-D-Bm-F#m-G
D                                          Bm  
Yea, the whole town came out to watch, the day the paved the parking lot
F#m                                       G 
Somebody hung a ribbon up, and then they cut it down
               D                             Bm
And that big white rose upon that sign, put innocence in all our lives
F#m                               G
We could see its neon light from half a mile out

         D                         Bm               
Gas was .50 cents a gallon, they'd put it in for you
        F#m                                     G          
they'd bump your tires and check your oil, and wash your windows too
           D                                     Bm
And we'd shine those cars bright as bright, we'd go park underneath that light
 F#m                                      G
Stare out at the prairie sky, there was nothing else to do

Chorus
            Bm                             F#m
Now there's plywood for glass, where the windows all got smashed
             G                                    A
And there's just a chunk a'concrete, where those old pumps used to stand
            Bm
There's a couple a' cars half outta the ground 
          F#m 
And that old sign still spins 'round 'n 'round
    G                                         A        Bm  
I guess the White Rose fillin' station's just a memory now

          D
And the girls would spend a couple of bucks 
         Bm
Just to meet the boys workin' at the pumps
         F#m                                   G     
And we'd pull up and fall in love and they've all moved away
  D                              Bm
Strangers used to stop and ask, how far they've driven off the map
     F#m                                        G
And then they built that overpass and now they stay out on the highway

Chorus
                Bm                           F#m 
'Cause there's plywood for glass, where the windows all got smashed
             G                                    A
And there's just a chunk a'concrete, where those old pumps used to stand
            Bm
There's a couple a' cars half outta the ground
         F#m
And that old sign still spins 'round 'n 'round
    G                                         A        Bm
I guess the White Rose fillin' station's just a memory now

          G                                                D
And that neon sign was the heart and soul of this ol' one horse town
          A                                           G
And it's like it lost its will to live, the day they shut it down

Chorus
                 Bm                           F#m
And now there's plywood for glass, where the windows all got smashed
             G                                    A
And there's just a chunk a'concrete, where those old pumps used to stand
            Bm
There's a couple a' cars half outta the ground 
         F#m
And that old sign still spins 'round 'n 'round
    G                                         A        Bm
I guess the White Rose fillin' station's just a memory now

     G                                         A        Bm
Yea that ol' White Rose fillin' station's just a memory now
