Big Yellow Taxi Joni Mitchell
They [G]paved paradise and put up a parking [D]lot
With a [G]pink hotel, a b[A]outique and a swingin' [D]hot spot
CHORUS:
[D]Don't it always [D7]seem to go
That you d[G]on't know what you've [D]got till it's gone
They p[G]aved paradise and [A]put up a parking [D]lot
They [G]took all the trees, put 'em in a tree mus[D]eum
And they [G]charged the people a [A]dollar and a half just to [D]see 'em
CHORUS:
[D]Don't it always [D7]seem to go
That you d[G]on't know what you've [D]got till it's gone
They p[G]aved paradise and [A]put up a parking [D]lot
Hey [G]farmer farmer, put away that D.D.[D]T. now
Give me [G]spots on my apples but [A]leave me the birds and the [D]bees
[D]please
CHORUS:
[D]Don't it always [A]seem to go
That you d[G]on't know what you've [D]got till it's gone
They p[G]aved paradise and [A]put up a parking [D]lot
[G]Late last night I heard the screen door [D]slam
And a [G]big yellow taxi [A]took away my old [D]man
CHORUS TWICE:
[D]Don't it always [A]seem to go
That you d[G]on't know what you've [D]got till it's gone
They p[G]aved paradise and [A]put up a parking [D]lot
[D]Yeah they [G]paved paradise, [A]put up a parking [D]lot
[D]I said they [G]paved paradise, [A]put up a parking [D]lot
