     E             
They paved paradise
A                E  
Put up a parking lot
                    B       
With a pink hotel a boutique
      E                
And a swinging hot spot
                E         
Don't it always seem to go
                                E                 
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
A                  
They paved paradise
B                A  
Put up a parking lot
             E      
Shoo bop bop bop bop
E                   
Shoo bop bop bop bop
     E                 
They took all the trees
A                 E     
Put 'em in a tree museum
         A                 
And they charged the people
  E            B         E         
A dollar and a half just to see 'em


[Chorus]
                E         
Don't it always seem to go
                                Bsus4             
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
     A             
They paved paradise
B                E  
Put up a parking lot
                 E  
Shoo bop bop bop bop


[Verse]
E                   
Shoo bop bop bop bop
           A     
Hey farmer farmer
             E      
Put away the DDT now
        E                 
Give me spots on my apples
    B                          E          
But leave me the birds and the bees please
                E         
Don't it always seem to go
                                Bsus4             
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
     A             
They paved paradise
         A          
Put up a parking lot
B                   
Shoo bop bop bop bop
E                   
Shoo bop bop bop bop
          E    
Late last night
  A                     E   
I heard the screen door slam
      E              
And a big yellow taxi
B                E  
Took away my old man


[Chorus]
                E         
Don't it always seem to go
                                Bsus4         A   
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
A                  
They paved paradise
B                E  
Put up a parking lot
         E          
Shoo bop bop bop bop
                       E         
I said don't it always seem to go
                                A             E   
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
     A     B       
They paved paradise
B                   
Put up a parking lot
A                   
Shoo bop bop bop bop
     E A     B       
They ■ paved paradise
    B               
Put up a parking lot
A            E      
Shoo bop bop bop bop
A          B       
They paved paradise
                 E   A E
Put up a parking lot ■ ■
