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)
