Empty Garden by Elton John
Empty Garden
A
What happened here
E
As the New York sunset disappeared
B C#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/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
B
C#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#m B/A A
And we are so amazed we're crippled and we're dazed
B E
A gardener like that one no one can replace
A E
And 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 E
Can't you come out to play
A
And 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
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 A
Now we pray for rain, and with every drop that falls
B E
We 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)
