Big yellow taxi - Joni Mitchell

[C] [D] [G] [G]
(org=F#)

They [C] paved paradise
And put up a parking [G] lot
With a [C] pink hotel, a [D] boutique
And a [G] swinging hot spot

[G] Don't it always [Gmaj7] seem to go
That you [C] don't know what you've [D] got 'til its [G] gone
They [C] paved paradise and [D] put up a parking [G] lot

They took all the trees put em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half just to see em

Don't it always seem to go that you dont know what youve got 'til its gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Hey farmer farmer put away that d.d.t. now
Give me spots on my apples But leave me the birds and the bees - Please!

Don't it always seem to go that you dont know what youve got 'til its 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 old man

Don't it always seem to go that you dont know what youve got 'til its gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
