Big Yellow Taxi Chords & Lyrics - Misc Unsigned Bands - Joni Mitchell

1.They [Bb]paved parad[Eb]ise and [Bb]put up a par[Eb]king [Bb]lot,[F] [F6] [F7] [F6]
[F6]With a [Bb]pink hotel[Eb] , a [C]boutique and a [F]swingin' [F6]hot[F7] sp[F6]ot. [F]
CHORUS:[F]Don't it always seem to go, that [F7]you don't know what
you've got 'till it's gone. They [Bb]paved par[Eb]adise and
[C]put up a park[C7]ing [F]lot.

2.They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum,

And they charged all the people a dollar and a half
just to see 'em.

[CHORUS]

3.Hey farmer, farmer, put away that DDT, now.

Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the
bees. Please!

[CHORUS]

4.Late last night I heard the screen door slam,

And a big yellow taxi came and took away my old man.

[CHORUS]

The chords for the verses are the same and so it is for
[THE CHORUS]
Mitchell adds this at the end of the song:
[F]/[F6]/[F7]/[F6] [F] [F6] [F] [F6]
Woo..........Pa.....pa.....pa.....pa..... (x5) then the
chorus is repeated with one more Woo
pa.....pa.....pa.....pa... to finish.

A blast from the past from Kraziekhat!
