[Intro 1]
[F][C][Am]
[Em][F]
[C][Am]
[Em][F]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[Am]The
day the paved the parking lot
Some[Em]body hung a ribbon up
And [F]then they cut it down

[Verse 2]
[F]
And that big [C]white rose upon
that sign
[Am]Put innocence in all our lives
We [Em]could see its neon light
From [F]half a mile out

[Verse 3]
Gas was [C]fifty cents a gallon
[Am]They'd put it in for you
They'd [Em]bump your tires
and check your oil
And [F]wash your windows too

[Verse 4]
And We'd [F]shine [C]those cars
bright as bright
[Am]We'd go park underneath that light
[Em]Stare out at the prairie sky
There was [F]nothing else to do

[Verse 5]
[F]
And now [Am]there's plywood for glass
Where the [Em]windows all got smashed
And there's [F]just a chunk
a'concrete
Where those old [G]pumps
used to stand
[Am]There's a

[Verse 6]
couple a'cars half
outta the ground
And that [Em]old sign still spins
'round 'n' 'round
[F]I guess the White Rose fillin' station's
just [G]a memory now
[Am][Dm]

[Verse 7]
[Am]
And the [C]girls would spend
a couple of bucks
Just to [Am]meet the boys
workin' at the pumps
And [Em]we'd pull up and fall in love
And [F]they've all moved away

[Verse 8]
[F]
[C]Strangers used to stop and ask
[Am]How far they've driven off the map
And [Em]then they built that overpass
And now [F]they stay out
on the highway

[Verse 9]
[F]'Cause [Am]there's plywood for glass
Where the [Em]windows all got smashed
And there's [F]just a chunk
a'concrete
Where those old [G]pumps
used to stand

[Verse 10]
There's [Am]a couple a'cars half
outta the ground
And that [Em]old sign still spins
'round 'n' 'round
[F]I guess the White Rose fillin' station's
just [G]a memory now
[Am][Dm]

[Verse 11]
[Am]
And that [F]neon sign was
the heart and soul
[Am]Of this ol' one horse town
And it's [G]like it lost its will to live
The [F]day they shut it down

[Verse 12]
[F]
And now there's [Am]ply
wood for glass
Where [Em]the windows all got smashed
And there's [F]just a chunk a'concrete
Where those old [G]pumps used to stand
[Dm]There's a

[Verse 13]
[Am]couple a'cars half
outta the ground
And that [Em]old sign still spins
'round 'n 'round
[F]I guess the White Rose fillin' station's just
[G]a memory now
[Am][Dm][Am]

[Verse 14]
[Dm]Yeah, that ol' White Rose fill[F]in' station's
just [G]a m[Am]emory[Dm][Am]
now
