G D
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
G A D
With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swingin' hot spot
[Chorus 1]
D A
Don't it always seem to go
G D
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
G A D
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
[Verse 2]
G D
They took all the trees, put 'em in a tree museum
G A D
And they charged the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em
[Chorus 2]
D A
Don't it always seem to go
G D
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
G A D
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
[Verse 3]
G D
Hey farmer farmer, put away that D.D.T. now
G A D
Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees
D
please
[Chorus 3]
D A
Don't it always seem to go
G D
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
G A D
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
[Verse 4]
G D
Late last night I heard the screen door slam
G A D
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man
[Chorus 4]
D A
Don't it always seem to go
G D
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
G A D
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
