Big Yellow Taxi


     A                           E     
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
       A                B                    E
With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swingin' hot spot

E
Don't it always seem to go
         A                         (n.c.)
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
     A                  B                E
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
 E
(Choo     bop bop bop bop,    choo     bop bop bop bop)

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

E
Don't it always seem to go
         A                         (n.c.)
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
     A                  B                E
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
 E
(Choo     bop bop bop bop,    choo     bop bop bop bop

    A                            E     
Hey farmer farmer, put away that D.D.T. now
        A                  B                              E
Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees please

E
Don't it always seem to go
         A                         (n.c.)
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
     A                  B                E
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
 E
(Choo     bop bop bop bop,    choo     bop bop bop bop

     A                             E     
Late last night I heard the screen door slam
    A                 B            E
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man

E
Don't it always seem to go
         A                     (n.c.)
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
     A                  B                E
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
 E
(Choo     bop bop bop bop,    choo     bop bop bop bop

E
Don't it always seem to go
         A                         (n.c.)
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
     A                  B                E
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
 E
(Choo     bop bop bop bop,    choo     bop bop bop bop

     A               B                E
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot (choo bop bop bop bop)
     A               B                E
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
