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