| Capo on 1st fret |
| What happened here? |
| As the New York sunset disappeared |
| I found an Empty Garden |
| among the flagstones there |
| Who lived here? He must have been |
| Agardener that cared a lot |
| Who weeded out the tears |
| and grew a good crop |
| Now it all looks strange |
| It's funny how one insect |
| Can damage so much grain |
| And what's it for |
| This little Empty Garden |
| by the brownstone door |
| And in the cracks |
| along the sidewalk |
| Nothing grows no more |
| Who lived here? He must have been |
| a gardener that cared a lot |
| Who weeded out the tears |
| And grew a good crop |
| And we are so amazed |
| We're crippled and we're dazed |
| A gardener like that one |
| no one can replace |
| And I've been knokcing |
| But no one answers |
| And I've been knokcing |
| Most all the day |
| Oh, and I've been callin' |
| Oh, hey, hey Johnny |
| Can't you come out to play? |
| And through their tears |
| Some say he farmed |
| his best in younger years |
| But he'd have said that |
| roots grow stronger |
| If only he could hear |
| Who lived there? He must have been |
| a gardener that cared a lot |
| Who weeded out the tears |
| and grew good crop |
| Now we pray for rain |
| And with every drop that pours |
| We hear, we hear your name |
| And I've been knokcing |
| But no one answers |
| And I've been knokcing |
| Most all the day |
| Oh, and I've been calling |
| Oh, hey, hey Johnny |
| Can't you come out to play |
| And I've been knokcing |
| But no one answers |
| And I've been knokcing |
| Most all the day |
| Oh, and I've been calling |
| Oh, hey, hey Johnny |
| Can't you come out, |
| can't you come out to play |
| Johnny, can't you come out to play |
| in your Empty Garden |
| Johnny, can't you come out to play |
| in your Empty Garden |
| Johnny, can't you come out to play |
| in your Empty Garden |
