Tom : E
 A/E
What happened here
 E
As the New York sunset disappeared
 B7
I found an empty garden
 C#m
Among the flagstones there
 A/E
Who lived here
 E
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
 B7
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
 C#m
And now it all looks strange
 B/A A
It's funny how one in..sect
 B7 E
Can damage, so much grain
 A/E
And what's it for
 E
This little empty garden by the brownstone door
 B7
And in the cracks along the sidewalk
 C#m
Nothing grows no more
 A/E
Who lived here
 E
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
 B7
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
 C#m
And we are so amazed
 B/A A
We're crippled and we're dazed
 B7
A gardener like that one
 E
No one can replace
 E/G# A

[Refrão]
And I've been knocking
 E
But no one answers
 E/G# A
And I've been knocking
 C#m G#m C#m
Most all the day

[Refrão]
 F#m
Oh and I've been calling

[Próxima Parte]
 C#m
Oh hey hey Johnny
 A B E
Can't you come o...ut to play
 A/E
And through their tears
 E
Some say he farmed his best in younger years
 B7
But he'd have said that roots grow stronger
 C#m
If only he could hear
 A/E
Who lived there
 E
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
 B7
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
 C#m
Now we pray for rain
 B/A A
And with every drop that falls
 B E
We hear, we hear your name
 E/G# A

[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
 C#m
Oh hey hey Johnny
 A
Can't you come out
 B E
Can't you come out to play
 F#m
Johnny
 A B
Can't you come out to play
 E
In your empty garden
 F#m
Garden
 A B
Can't you come out to play
 E
In your empty garden

  • Use the transpose button if the key feels uncomfortable for your voice or the chord shapes you know.
