Video of me singing the song "Woodstock" by Joni Mitchell... An Anthem of My Generation...

https://youtu.be/fU00k4EXxfI 

"Woodstock" is truly one of the greatest songs of all time. Certainly my generation's finest. Written by Joni Mitchell on Piano... You may see her sing it in the Movie "Celebration at Big Sur." Made famous by Crosby, Stills and Nash. Simple chords Em, A and D... It can be played by anyone in Standard Tuning (EBGDAE). She often used her own tunings.  "Woodstock" was written about the festival but Joni Mitchell did not go. She was scheduled for The Dick Cavett TV Show that conflicted with the festival. That TV show also featured The Jefferson Airplane and CSN who were tired from performing/witnessing the Woodstock Festival.

Chords and Lyrics for "Big Yellow Taxi" by Joni Mitchell

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

x2

[Outro]

D         G               A                D

Yeah they paved paradise, put up a parking lot

D           G               A                D

I said they paved paradise, put up a parking lot
