- A
What happened here
E As the New York sunset disappeared
B C#mI found an empty garden among the flagstones there
AWho lived here
- E
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
B Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
C#mAnd now it all looks strange
- B/A A B E
It's funny how one in- sect can damage so much grain
- A
And what's it for
E This little empty garden by the brownstone door
BC#mAnd in the cracks along the sidewalk nothing grows no more
AWho lived here
- E
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
B Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
C#m B/A AAnd we are so amazed we're crippled and we're dazed
- B E
A gardener like that one no one can replace
A EAnd I've been knocking but no one answers
- A C#m (G#m C#m)
And I've been knocking most all the day
F#m C#m Oh and I've been calling oh hey hey Johnny
A B ECan't you come out to play
AAnd through their tears
- E
Some say he farmed his best in younger years
B - C#m
But he'd have said that roots grow stronger if only he could hear
A Who lived there
EHe must have been a gardener that cared a lot
- B
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
C#m B/A A Now we pray for rain, and with every drop that falls
B EWe hear, we hear your name
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
- F#m A B E
Johnny, can't you come out to play in your empty garden
(repeat last line and fade)
- PLAY TOO ..
