BIG YELLOW TAXI- Joni Mitchell

TUNING: Standard

(This is not how JM does it but this is my interpretation and it sounds pretty good if 
want an easy way to play this song that sounds good)


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:
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

     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

    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

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 TWICE

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
