Joni Mitchell - Big yellow taxi

They ^Fpaved paradise and put up a parking ^Clot With a ^Fpink hotel, a ^Gboutique, and a swi^Cngin' hot spot

^CDon't it always seem to go That you ^Fdon't know what you've got 'til it's ^Cgone? They ^Fpaved paradise, ^Gput up a parking ^Clot (^CShoo-bop-bop-bop-bop

They ^Ftook all the trees, put 'em in a tree ^Cmuseum And they ^Fcharged the people a ^Gdollar and a half just to ^Csee 'em

^CDon't it always seem to go That you ^Fdon't know what you've got 'til it's ^Cgone? They ^Fpaved paradise, ^Gput up a parking ^Clot (^CShoo-bop-bop-bop-bop

^FHey farmer, farmer, put away the D^CDT now Give me ^Fspots on my apples But ^Gleave me the birds and the ^Cbees, please

^CDon't it always seem to go That you ^Fdon't know what you've got 'til it's ^Cgone? They ^Fpaved paradise, ^Gput up a parking ^Clot (^CShoo-bop-bop-bop-bop

^FLate last night, I heard the screen ^Cdoor slam And a ^Fbig yellow taxi took away my old ^Cman

^CDon't it always seem to go That you ^Fdon't know what you've got 'til it's ^Cgone? They ^Fpaved paradise, ^Gput up a parking ^Clot (^CShoo-bop-bop-bop-bop) I said, ^Cdon't it always seem to go That you ^Fdon't know what you've got 'til it's ^Cgone? They ^Fpaved paradise, ^Gput up a parking ^Clot ^C(Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop) They ^Fpaved paradise, ^Gput up a parking ^Clot ^C(Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop) They ^Fpaved paradise, ^Gput up a parking ^Clot
