Big Yellow Taxi
Joni Mitchell
[D]
They [G]paved paradise... put up a parking [D]lot
With a [G]pink hotel... a [A]boutique... and a [D]swinging hot spot
[D]Don't it always [F#m]seem to go
That you [G]don't know what you've got till it's [D]gone
They [G]paved paradise... [A]put up a parking [D]lot
[D] (Shoo ba-ba ba-ba... shoo ba-ba ba-ba)
They [G]took all the trees... put 'em in a tree mu[D]seum
And then they [G]charged the people... a [A]dollar and a half just to [D]see 'em
[D]Don't it always [F#m]seem to go
That you [G]don't know what you've got till it's [D]gone
They [G]paved paradise... [A]put up a parking [D]lot
[D] (Shoo ba-ba ba-ba... shoo ba-ba ba-ba)
[G]Hey farmer, farmer... put away your D.D. [D]T. now
Give me [G]spots on my apples... but [A]leave me the birds and the [D]bees, please
[D]Don't it always [F#m]seem to go
That you [G]don't know what you've got till it's [D]gone
They [G]paved paradise... [A]put up a parking [D]lot
[D] (Shoo ba-ba ba-ba... shoo ba-ba ba-ba)
[G]Late last night... I heard the screen door [D]slam
And a [G]big yellow taxi... [A]took away my old [D]man
[D]Don't it always [F#m]seem to go
That you [G]don't know what you've got till it's [D]gone
They [G]paved paradise... [A]put up a parking [D]lot
[D] (Shoo ba-ba ba-ba... shoo ba-ba ba-ba)
I said [D]don't it always [F#m]seem to go
That you [G]don't know what you've got till it's [D]gone
They [G]paved paradise... [A] put up a parking [D]lot
[D] (Shoo ba-ba ba-ba... shoo ba-ba ba-ba)
They [G]paved paradise... [A]put up a parking [D]lot
[D] (Shoo ba-ba ba-ba... shoo ba-ba ba-ba)
They [G]paved paradise and [A]put up a parking [D]lot
