Empty Garden - Elton John


A
What happened here
E

As the New York sunset disappeared
B Cm
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
Cm
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
Cm
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
Cm 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 Cm (Gm Cm)
And I`ve been knocking most all the day
Fm Cm
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
Cm
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
Cm 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

Fm A B E
Johnny, can`t you come out to play in your empty garden

(repeat last line and fade)
