Tom :AA
What happened here
E
As the New York sunset disappeared
BC#m
I found an empty garden among the flagstones there
A
Who 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
And now it all looks strange
B/AABE
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#m
And in the cracks along the sidewalk nothing grows no more
A
Who 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#mB/AA
And we are so amazed we're crippled and we're dazed
BE
A gardener like that one no one can replace
Chorus:
AE
And I've been knocking but no one answers
AC#m (G#mC#m)
And I've been knocking most all the day
F#mC#m
Oh and I've been calling oh hey hey Johnny
ABE
Can't you come out to play
A
And through their tears
E
Some say he farmed his best in younger years
BC#m
But he'd have said that roots grow stronger if only he could hear
A
Who lived there
E
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
B
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
C#mB/AA
Now we pray for rain, and with every drop that falls
BE
We hear, we hear your name
**Chorus Twice
F#mABE
Johnny, can't you come out to play in your empty garden
(Repeat Last Line And Fade)
