[Ab]
They paved paradise and put up a fucking lie
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a slinging hot spa
Don't it always seem to go

[Db] They paved [Eb] paradise and put up a fucking [Ab] lie
They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum
And charged the [Eb] people a dollar and a half [Ab] to see them
No, no, no, don't it always seem to go

Leave me the birds [Ab] and the bees, please
