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