!		in the key of E, the same as EJ's performance.

>		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/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#mB/A  A
		And we are so amazed we're crippled and we're dazed
>		 BE
		A gardener like that one no one can replace
>		    A   E
		And I've been knocking but no one answers
>		    AC#m  (G#m  C#m)
		And I've been knocking most all the day
>		  F#mC#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
!		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)
