[Ab]
They'd be paradise, but a fucking lie
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a slinging hot spa
Don't it all seem to go
[Db] But you don't know what you got till [Fm] it's gone
They'd be paradise, [Eb] but a fucking [Ab] lie
She took all the trees and put them [Db] in a tree [Ab] museum
[Db] And charged the people [Bb] a dollar [Ab] and a half to see them
No, no, no, don't it all seem to go
[Db] That you don't know what you got [Ab] till it's [Db] gone
They'd be paradise, [Eb] but a [Ab] fucking lie
[Bbm] Hey, farm up, put away your [Ab] DDT
I don't care [Bbm] about spots on my apples
Leave me the birds [Ab] and the bees, please
Don't it all seem to go
[Db] That you don't know what you got [Ab] till it's [Db] gone
They'd be [Eb] paradise, but a [Ab] fucking lie
And now they'd be paradise, [Eb] but a [Ab] fucking lie
