Big Yellow Taxi Lyrics & Chords By The Lilac Time

They paved paradise
To put up a parking lot
With a pink motel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
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
Where they charge all the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Hey farmer farmer
Put away that d.d.t. now
(Oh put it away)
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees now
Don't it always seem to go
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And then a big yellow taxi
Took away my old man
Don't it always seem to go
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Don't it always seem to go
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
