        B5 (Abafado)                        A5
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
        B5 (Abafado)                             A5
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot...
                                                 _
 A5             E5                                
Don't it always seem to go                         
            G5                  D5

They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum
               B5                                                A5
And they charged all the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em...

Hey farmer farmer put away that DDT now.
           B5                                               A5
Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees

Please!

 B                                  A
Late last night I heard a screen door slam, 
        B                                A
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man...
