Big Yellow Taxi - Joni Mitchell Cover - HIVE Open Mic Week 94 - Ethics & Freedom

Hi Folks

This is my song for this weeks theme of Ethics and Freedom.
I learned the Joni Mitchel song "Big Yellow Taxi" this week and I felt it would be a good one to try this week.

Don't it always seem to go
And you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot

Don't it always seem to go
And you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot

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

Don't it always seem to go
And you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot

Hey farmer, farmer, put away the DDT now
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees, please

Don't it always seem to go
And you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot

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

Don't it always seem to go
And you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
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

Oohh, don't it always seem to go
And you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot

Dont it always seem to go?
And you dont know what you've got til its gone...
