They [Ab] pay paradise, put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot
Dawn, it always seemed to go
[Ab] She don't know what she got till it's gone
[Db] They pay paradise, [Eb] put up a parking [Ab] lot
Pop, pop, pop, na-na-na, pop, pop, pop
Took all the trees, put them in a tree museum
In charge, the people, [Eb] the dollar, and I [Ab] have to see them
Na-na-na, always seemed to go
Bet you don't know what you got till it's [Db] gone
They pay [Eb] paradise, put up a [Ab] parking lot
Pop, pop, pop, na-na-na, pop, pop, pop
Hey, farmer, put away your DDT
I don't care [Bbm] about spots on my apple
Leave me the [Ab] birds and the bees, please
Dawn, it always seemed to go
[Db] Bet you don't know what you got till it's [Ab] gone
They pay paradise, put up a parking lot
[Db] They pay [Eb] paradise, put up a [Ab] parking lot
Hey, everybody now
Pop, pop, pop, na-na-na, pop, pop, pop

[Ab] Listen, late last night, I heard the screen door sway
And [Db] a big yellow taxi [Ab] took my girl away
Now, dawn, it always seemed to go
[Db] Bet you don't know what you got [Ab] till it's gone
They [Eb] pay paradise, put up a [Ab] parking lot
Always seemed to go
[Db] Bet you don't know what you got [Ab] till it's gone
They pay paradise, put up a parking lot
They pay [Eb] paradise, put up a [Ab] parking lot
Hey, hey, [Db] hey, they pay paradise
Put up a [Ab] parking lot
