Capo 1st Fret

G					 C
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
G					     C
With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swingin' hot spot

CHORUS:
G
Don't it always seem to go
	 C
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
G			D		 G
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
		      C	
Choo bop bop bop bop, choo bop bop bop bop

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

REPEAT CHORUS

G				     C
Hey farmer farmer, put away that D.D.T. 
G									 C
I don't care about the spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees please

REPEAT CHORUS

G (strum once)				C (strum once)
Late last night I heard the screen door slam
G (strum once)				C (strum once)
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man

CHORUS TWICE (with only one chooo bop... at each end)

C		     D
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot (choo bop bop bop bop)
C		     D
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
