Intro D, E, A

        B5 (Abafado)                        A5
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
        B5 (Abafado)                             A5
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot...
                                                 _
 A5             E5
Don't it always seem to go
            G5                  D5
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone?     } Refrão

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.      /

           B5                                        A5
They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum
               B5                                                A5
And they charged all the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em...

 B5                             A5
Hey farmer farmer put away that DDT now.
           B5                                               A5
Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees

Please!

 B                                  A
Late last night I heard a screen door slam,
        B                                A
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man...
