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)
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swingin' hot spot
CHORUS:
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
They took all the trees, put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em
CHORUS
Hey farmer farmer, put away that D.D.T. now
Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees
please
CHORUS
Late last night I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man
CHORUS TWICE
Yeah they paved paradise, put up a parking lot
I said they paved paradise, put up a parking lot
