Verse 1:
     C                                   G
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
      C              D                        G
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot
C
Don't it always seem to go
         C                                  G
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Verse 2:
     C                                            G
They took all the trees, and put 'em in a tree museum
         C                    D                    G                                             G
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them

No, no, no, don't it always seem to go
         C                                  G
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone

Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT
                   C
I don't care about spots on my apples

Leave me the birds and the bees,  please

Listen, late last night, I heard the screen door slam
      C               D              G
And a big yellow taxi took my girl away
