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/AA                      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 
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
* *Chorus Twice
 F#m         A                             B                                                     E 
Johnny, can't you come out to play in your empty garden
