White Rose
By Fred Eaglesmith
capo 2nd fret
C Am Em F (x2)
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)
