[Intro 1]
[G][A][D][D]

[Verse 1]
They [G]paved paradise
Put up a parking [D]lot
With a [G]pink hotel, a [A]boutique
And a [D]swinging hot spot

[Chorus 1]
[D]Don't it always seem to go
That you [G]don't know
what you've got [D]'til it's gone?
They [G]paved paradise
[A]Put up a parking [D]lot
(Shoo, bop, bop, bop, bop)

[Verse 2]
They [G]took all the trees
Put 'em in a tree mu[D]seum
And they [G]charged the people
A [A]dollar and a half just [D]to see 'em

[Chorus 2]
[D]Don't it always seem to go
That you [G]don't know
what you've got [D]'til it's gone?
They [G]paved paradise
[A]Put up a parking [D]lot

[Verse 3]
(Shoo, bop, bop, bop, bop)
[G]Hey, farmer, farmer
Put away the DD[D]T now
Give me [G]spots on my apples
But [A]leave me the birds and the [D]bees, please

[Chorus 3]
[D]Don't it always seem to go
That you [G]don't know
what you've got [D]'til it's gone?
They [G]paved paradise
[A]Put up a parking [D]lot

[Verse 4]
(Shoo, bop, bop, bop, bop)
[G]Late last night
I heard the screen door [D]slam
And a [G]big yellow taxi
[A]Took away my old [D]man

[Chorus 4]
[D]Don't it always seem to go
That you [G]don't know
what you've got [D]'til it's gone?
They [G]paved paradise
[A]Put up a parking [D]lot
I said, [D]don't it always seem to go
That you [G]don't know
what you've got [D]'til it's gone
They [G]paved paradise
[A]Put up a parking [D]lot
They [G]paved paradise
[A]Put up a parking [D]lot
They [G]paved paradise
[A]Put up a parking [D]lot
