Song: Big Yellow Taxi
By:   Joni Mitchell

[intro:]  A  B  E  Esus E Esus E  Esus E  Esus E

[verse: 1]
      A                            E   Esus E Esus
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
        A             B                      E
With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swinging hot spot

[chorus:]
E
Don't it always seem to go
                                                {let ring}
That you don't know what you've got t'ill it's gone
      A                  B                E 
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
 Esus E  Esus            E   Esus E   Esus
(choo  bop bop bop bop, choo  bop bop bop bop)

[verse:2]
They took all the trees, put them in a tree museum
And charged the people a dollar and a half just to see them

[chorus:]  {repeat}

[verse:3]
Hey farmer farmer, put away your DDT now
Give me spots on my apples but leave the birds and the bees

[chorus:]  {repeat}

[verse:4]
Late last night I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man

[chorus:]  {repeat}

[coda:] 
E
Don't it always seem to go
                                                {let ring}
That you don't know what you've got t'ill it's gone
      A                  B                E 
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
 Esus E  Esus            
(choo  bop bop bop bopp)
E
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
 Esus E  Esus            
(choo  bop bop bop bop)
E                                             Esus E  Esus     E   
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
