Verse 1
What
F
happened here
as
the New York sunset
C
disappeared?
I
found an empty
garden
G
among
the flagstones
there
Am
Who
F
lived here?
He
must have been a
gardener that
C
cared a lot
Who
weeded out the tears
and grew a
G
good crop
Now it all looks
strange
Am
It's
funny how one
F
in
sect
can damage
G
so much
grain
C
And
Verse 2
F
what's it for?
This little empty garden
by the
C
brownstone door
And
in the cracks along
the
G
sidewalk,
nothin'
grows
no more
Am
Who
F
lived here?
He must have been
a gardener that
C
cared a lot
Who
weeded out the tears
and grew a
G
good crop
And we
are so
amazed,
Am
we're crippled and
we're dazed
F
A
gardener
like
that
G
one,
no
one can
replace
C
And
I've
been
Chorus 1
F
knockin',
but no
one
C
answers
And I've been
F
knockin'
most of
the day
Am
Oh,
and I've been
Dm
callin',
"oh,
hey, hey,
Am
Johnny
Can't
you come
F
out
G
to play?"
C
C
And
Verse 3
F
through their tears
Some say he
farmed his best
in
C
younger years
But he'd
have said that
roots grow
G
stronger,
if only he
could hear
Am
Who
F
lived here?
He must have been
a gardener that
C
cared a lot
Who
weeded out the tears
and grew a
G
good crop
Now we
pray
for rain,
Am
and with every
drop that
F
falls
We hear,
G
we hear
your
name
C
And
I've
been
Chorus 2
F
knockin',
but no
one
C
answers
And I've been
F
knockin'
most of
the day
Am
Oh,
and I've been
Dm
callin',
"oh,
hey, hey,
Am
Johnny
Can't
you come
F
out
G
to play?"
C
And I've been
Chorus 3
F
knockin',
but no
one
C
answers
And I've been
F
knockin'
most of
the day
Am
Oh,
and I've been
Dm
callin',
"oh,
hey, hey,
Am
Johnny
Can't
you come
out?
F
G
Can you come
out
to (play?")

to
play
G
in your empty
garden?

Johnny,
Dm
F
can't you come out
to
play
G
in your empty
garden?
