Toby Keith – White Rose (Ukulele)

          C
Well the whole town came out to watch

    Am
the day they paved the parking lot

    Em
Somebody hung a ribbon up

    F                       F
and then they cut it down

         C
And that big white rose upon that sign

    Am
put innocence in all our lives

Em
We could see its neon lights

F                 F
half a mile out

        C
Gas was fifty cents a gallon

     Am
They put it in for you

           Em
And they'd pump your tires and check your oil

    F                       F
and wash your windows too

         C
And we'd shine those cars bright as bright

         Am
And we'd go park underneath that light

Em
Stare out at the prarie sky

          F                    F
There was nothing else to do

                Am
But now there's plywood for glass

          Em
where the windows all got smashed

            F
And there's just a chuck of concrete

            G
where those old pumps used to stand

          Am
There's a couple of cars half outta the ground

         Em
And that oil sign still spins 'round and 'round

    F                                               G      Am 
But I guess the White Rose filling station's just a memory now

        C
And the girls would spend a couple a bucks

        Am
just to meet the boys workin' at the pumps

    Em
And they'd grow up and fall in love

    F                     F
And they all moved away

C
Strangers used to stop and ask

    Am
how far they'd driven off the map

    Em
And then they built that overpass

             F                         F
And now they stay out on the highway

         F
And that neon sign was the heart and soul

   Am
of this old one horse town

         G
And it's like it lost its will to live

    F
the day they shut it down
