Empty Garden - Elton John
[Verse 1]
 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

[Chorus]
                    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

[Verse 2]
    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)
