Joni Mitchell – Big Yellow Taxi chords

Chords:
Transpose:
This version of the song has appeared elsewhere on the internet, I've just posted it 
here so the correct version as the artist plays it is on UG.

I play it in open D tuning with a Capo on 2. Muffling the bar A and B chords in the 
intro and first verse help give the rhythm to the song. Listen to the song and you'll figure 
it out :)
