Big Yellow TaxiJoni Mitchell

Ladies of the Canyon (1970)Capo II G D

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot G A DWith a pink hotel, a boutique and a swingin’ hot spot

G DThey took all the trees, put ‘em in a tree museum G A DAnd they charged the people a dollar and a half just to see ‘em

G DHey farmer farmer, put away that D.D.T. now G A DGive me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees, PLEASE...

G DLate last night I heard the screen door slam G A DAnd a big yellow taxi took away my old man

vv

DDon’t it always seem to go G DThat you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone G A DThey paved paradise and put up a parking lotShoo bop bop bop bopShoo bop bop bop bop
