Empty Garden

A
What happened here
                                   E
As the New York sunset disappeared
                          B      
I found an empty garden among the 
flagstones there
C#m

    A
Who lived here
He must have been a gardener that 
                 E
cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a 
                    B
good crop
                                C#m
And now it all looks strange
                            B/A A 
It's funny how one in-    sect can
         B                      E
 damage so much grain

    A
And what's it for
This little empty garden by the 
                 E
brownstone door
                                    
      B
           C#m
And in the cracks along the sidewalk
 nothing grows no more

                    C#m            
And we are so amazed we're crippled
                             B/A  A
 and we're dazed
                         B         
A gardener like that one no one can
                     E
 replace

[Chorus]
                    A            
And I've been knocking but no one 
                  E
answers
                    A              
And I've been knocking most all the
                     C#m  G#m  C#m
 day
                          F#m      
Oh and I've been calling oh hey hey
                     C#m
 Johnny
                        A  B       E
Can't you come out   to play

[Verse 2]
    A
And through their tears
Some say he farmed his best in 
                 E
younger years
                                    
                B
                    C#m
But he'd have said that roots grow 
stronger if only he could hear
     A
Who lived there
He must have been a gardener that 
                 E
cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a 
                 B
good crop
                         C#m       
Now we pray for rain, and with 
every drop that falls
  B/A  A

   B                  E
We hear, we hear your name

[D PEAT CHORUS TWICE]

F#m     A                        
Johnny, can't you come out to 
          B                        
play in your empty garden
     E
