Empty Garden Elton John
[A]What happened here
[E]
As the New York sunset disappeared
I found an empty garden am[B]ong the flagstones there [C#m]
Who [A]lived here
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot [E]
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop [B]
And now it all looks strange [C#m]
It's funny how one in- se[B/A]ct c[A]an damage so[B] much grain [E]
And [A]what's it for
This little empty garden by the brownstone door [E]
And in the [C#m]cracks along the sidewalk nothing grows no more
Who [A]lived here
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot [E]
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop [B]
And we are so amazed[C#m] we're crippled and we're dazed [B/A] [A]
A gardener like that one [B]no one can replace [E]
And I've been knocki[A]ng but no one answers [E]
And I've been knocki[A]ng most all the day [C#m] [G#m] [C#m]
Oh and I've been calling o[F#m]h hey hey Johnny [C#m]
Can't you come out to [A]pla[B]y [E]
And [A]through their tears
Some say he farmed his best in younger years [E]
But he'd have said t[C#m]hat roots grow stronger if only he could hear
Who l[A]ived there
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot [E]
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop [B]
Now we pray for rain, and[C#m] with every drop that falls [B/A] [A]
We [B]hear, we hear your [E]name
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
[F#m]Johnny, [A]can't you come out to play in your e[B]mpty garden [E]
(repeat last line and fade)
