[Verse]
     G                                   D
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
       G             Dmaj9           D
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot

[Chorus]
D               Dmaj9
Don't it always seem to go
         G                      Dmaj9         D
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
     G                  Dmaj9            D
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

G                                               D
They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum
         G                    Dmaj9                   D
And they charged the people a buck and a half just to see 'em

[Chorus]
D               Dmaj9
Don't it always seem to go
         G                      Dmaj9         D
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
     G                  Dmaj9            D
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Hey farmer farmer, put away the D. D. T. Now
        G
Give me spots on my apples, 
    Dmaj9                      D
But leave me the birds and the bees Please!

Don't it always seem to go
         G                      Dmaj9         D
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone

They paved paradise ad put up a parking lot

Late last night, I heard my screen door slam
      G                     Dmaj9   D
And a big yellow taxi, took away my gal

That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
     G                  Dmaj9            D
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
