This version of the song has appeared elsewhere on the internet, I've just posted it here so the correct version as the artist plays it is on UG. I play it in open D tuning with a Capo on 2. Muffling the bar A and B chords in the intro and first verse help give the rhythm to the song. Listen to the song and you'll figure it out :) Chord Shapes : All chords relative to capo --------------- E A B [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] E7sus4 A6 B6 E5 Emaj7 D---0----5----7----0----------0------5----7-----0----0---------------| A---0----5----7----0----------0------5----7-----0----0---------------| F#--0----5----7----1----------1------5----7-----3----3---------------| D---0----5----7----0----------0------5----7-----0----0---------------| A---0----5----7----2----------3------7----9-----5----4---------------| D---0----5----7----0----------0------5----7-----0----0---------------| Intro : ------- A A6 A A6 A B B6 B B6 B E [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] E7sus4 [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] E [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] E [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] E [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] E7sus4 [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] E [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] E Verse : -------- A A6 A E [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] E7sus4 [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] They paved paradise and put up a parking lot E [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] E [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/j/joni-mitchell/385965.html ] A A6 B B6 With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swingin' E [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] E7sus4 [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] E [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] E hot spot CHORUS: ------- E5 Emaj7 Don't it always seem to go [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] E That you don't know what you've got till it's gone A A6 B B6 E They paved paradise and put up a parking lot E [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] E7sus4 [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] E (Shoo bop bop bop bop E [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] E7sus4 [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] E Shoo bop bop bop bop) (Same chords for the following verses/choruses) 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 (with only one shooo bop... at each end) A A6 B B6 E They paved paradise, put up a parking lot E [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] E7sus4 [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] E (Shoo bop bop bop bop A A6 B B6 E They paved paradise, put up a parking lot E [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] E7sus4 [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] E [ch]Aadd2/E[/ch] E |
