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 Aadd2/E 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 Aadd2/E E7sus4 Aadd2/E E Aadd2/E E Aadd2/E E Aadd2/E E7sus4 Aadd2/E E Aadd2/E E [Verse] A A6 A E Aadd2/E E7sus4 Aadd2/E They paved paradise and put up a parking lot E Aadd2/E E A A6 B B6 With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swingin' E Aadd2/E E7sus4 Aadd2/E E Aadd2/E E hot spot [Chorus] E5 Emaj7 Don't it always seem to go Aadd2/E 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 Aadd2/E E7sus4 Aadd2/E E (Shoo bop bop bop bop E Aadd2/E E7sus4 Aadd2/E E Shoo bop bop bop bop) [Verse 2] 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] E5 Emaj7 Don't it always seem to go Aadd2/E 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 Aadd2/E E7sus4 Aadd2/E E (Shoo bop bop bop bop E Aadd2/E E7sus4 Aadd2/E E Shoo bop bop bop bop) [Verse 3] 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] E5 Emaj7 Don't it always seem to go Aadd2/E 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 Aadd2/E E7sus4 Aadd2/E E (Shoo bop bop bop bop E Aadd2/E E7sus4 Aadd2/E E Shoo bop bop bop bop) [Verse 4] Late last night I heard the screen door slam And a big yellow taxi took away my old man [Chorus] E5 Emaj7 Don't it always seem to go Aadd2/E 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 Aadd2/E E7sus4 Aadd2/E E (Shoo bop bop bop bop E Aadd2/E E7sus4 Aadd2/E E Shoo bop bop bop bop) E5 Emaj7 Don't it always seem to go Aadd2/E 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 Aadd2/E E7sus4 Aadd2/E E (Shoo bop bop bop bop E Aadd2/E E7sus4 Aadd2/E E Shoo bop bop bop bop) [Outro] A A6 B B6 E They paved paradise, put up a parking lot E Aadd2/E E7sus4 Aadd2/E E (Shoo bop bop bop bop A A6 B B6 E They paved paradise, put up a parking lot E Aadd2/E E7sus4 Aadd2/E E Aadd2/E E
