Big Yellow Taxi

They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Witch a pink hotel, a botique
And a swinging hot spot
Don´t it always seem to go
That you don´t know what you´ve got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

They took all [Em]the tɾees
And put them [A]in a tɾee museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and [Bm]a half just to [C7]see ´em
Don´t it always seem [A]to [C7]go
That you [A7don´t know what you´ve got
Till it's gone
The paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Hey farmer farmer
Put away that D.D.T. now
Give me spots on [C7]my [A]apples
But leave me the birds and [Bm]the bees
Please!
Don't it always seem [A]to [C7]go
That you [A7don´t know what you´ve got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Took away my [A]old man
Don´t it always seem [A]to [C7]go
That you [A7don´t know what you´ve got
Till it's gon
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
