[Intro 1]
[G][A][D][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
They [G]paved paradise,
put up a parking lot
[D]With a [G]pink hotel, [A]a boutique
and a swinging [G]hot [D]spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you [G]don't know
what you've [D]got [G]till it's [D]gone
They [G]paved paradise,
[A]put up a parking [G]lot[D][G][D][G][D]
They [G]took all the trees,
put them in a tree museum
[D]And[G] th[D]ey charged t[G]he people
a [A]dollar and a half just [G]to see [D]them
Don't it always seem to go
That you [G]don't know
what you've [D]got [G]till it's [D]gone
They [G]paved paradise,
[A]put up a parking [G]lot[D][G][D]
[G]Hey, farmer, farmer,
put away that DDT [D]now
[G]Give [D]me [G]spo[D]ts on [G]my apples
[A]or leave me the birds and the [D]bees
[G]Please [D]don[G]'t,
[D]it always seemed to go
That you don't know
what [G]you've got [A]till it's [D]gone
They [G]paved paradise,
[D]put[A] up a parking lot[D][G][D][G][D][G][D]
[G]Late last night,
I heard the screen door [D]slam[G][D]
And a [G]big yellow taxi
[A]took away my old [G]man[D]
Don't it always seem to go
That you [G]don't know
what you've got till [A]it's gone
They [G]paved paradise, [A]put up a parking [D]lot[G]
[D]I said, don't it always seem to go
that you don't know
what you've [G]got till [D]it's gone?
They [G]paved paradise,
[A]put up a parking [D]lot[G][D]
They [G]paved paradise,
[A]put up a parking [D]lot[G][D]
They [G]paved paradise, [A]put up a parking lot
[D][G][D]
