White Rose Chords

Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

C Am Em F

Well the wChole town came out to watch

the Amday they paved the parking lot

SomeEmbody hung a ribbon up

and Fthen they cut it down F

And that Cbig white rose upon that sign

put Aminnocence in all our lives

EmWe could see its neon lights

Fhalf a mile out F

Gas was Cfifty cents a gallon

They Amput it in for you

And they'd Empump your tires and check your oil

and Fwash your windows too F

And we'd Cshine those cars bright as bright

And we'd Amgo park underneath that light

EmStare out at the prarie sky

There was Fnothing else to do F

Chorus

But now there's Amplywood for glass

where the Emwindows all got smashed

And there's Fjust a chuck of concrete

where those Gold pumps used to stand

There's a Amcouple of cars half outta the ground

And that Emoil sign still spins 'round and 'round

But FI guess the White Rose filling station's just a Gmemory Amnow

And the Cgirls would spend a couple a bucks

just to Ammeet the boys workin' at the pumps

And Emthey'd grow up and fall in love

And Fthey all moved away F

CStrangers used to stop and ask

how Amfar they'd driven off the map

And Emthen they built that overpass

And now they Fstay out on the highway F

(Repeat Chorus)

And that Fneon sign was the heart and soul

of Amthis old one horse town

And it's Glike it lost its will to live

the Fday they shut it down

(Repeat Chorus)

(Repeat last line of chorus)
