They

paradise 

Put

With 
a 
pink

a 
boutique 

And 
a 
swinging 
hot 
spot 

Chorus 1
Don't 
it 
always 
seem 
to 
go 

That 
you 
don't 
know 

what 
you've 
got 
'til 
it's 
gone? 

They 
paved 
paradise 

Put 
up 
a 
parking

(Shoo, 
bop, 
bop, 
bop, 
bop) 

Verse 2
They 
took 
all 
the 
trees 

Put 
'em 
in 
a 
tree 
mu
seum 

And 
they 
charged 
the 
people 

A 
dollar 
and 
a 
half 
just 
to 
see 
'em 

Chorus 2
Don't 
it 
always 
seem 
to 
go 

That 
you 
don't 
know

'til 
it's 
gone? 

They 
paved 
paradise 

Put 
up 
a 
parking 
lot 

Verse 3
(Shoo, 
bop, 
bop, 
bop, 
bop) 

Hey, 
farmer, 
farmer 

Put 
away 
the 
DD
T 
now 

Give 
me 
spots 
on 
my 
apples 

But 
leave 
me 
the 
birds 
and 
the 
bees, 
please 

Chorus 3
Don't 
it 
always 
seem 
to 
go 

That 
you 
don't 
know

you've 
got 
'til 
it's 
gone? 

They 
paved 
paradise 

Put 
up 
a 
parking 
lot 

Verse 4
(Shoo, 
bop, 
bop, 
bop, 
bop) 

Late 
last 
night 

I 
heard 
the 
screen 
door 
slam 

And 
a 
big 
yellow 
taxi 

Took 
away 
my 
old 
man 

Chorus 4
Don't 
it 
always 
seem 
to

'til 
it's 
gone? 

They 
paved 
paradise 

Put 
up 
a 
parking

I 
said, 
don't 
it 
always 
seem 
to 
go 

That 
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

    Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    "

    I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    Well-Designed App

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    Got me back into playing

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
