Empty Garden

capo fret one G D what happened here? as the new york sunset disappeared A Bm i found an empty garden , among the flagstones there G D who lived here? he must have been a gardener who cared a lot A who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop Bm now it all looks strange G A D it’s funny how one insect can damage so much grain G D and what’s it for , this little empty garden by the brownstone door A and in the cracks along the sidewalk Bm nothing grows no more G D who lived here? he must have been gardener who cared a lot A who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop Bm and we are so amazed G we’re crippled and we’re dazed A D a gardener like that one , no one can replace Chorus G and i’ve been knockin’ D and no one answers G and i’ve beeen knockin’ Bm most all the day Em oh , and i’ve been callin’ Bm oh , hey , hey johnny G A D can’t you come out to play? G and through their tears D some say he farmed his best in younger years A but he’d have said the roots grow stronger Bm if only he were here G D who lived here? he must have been a gardener who cared a lot A who weeded out the tears and grew good crop Bm now we pray for rain G and with every drop that pours A D we hear , we hear your name Chorus G and i’ve been knockin’ D and no one answers G and i’ve been knockin’ Bm most all the day Em oh , and i’ve been calling Bm oh , hey , hey johnny G A D can’t you come out , can’t you come out and play Em G A D johnny , can’t you come out to play in your empty garden ( repeat )
