capo 1 — sounds a semitone higherVerse 1
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 a gardener 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
Verse 2
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 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
Chorus
And I've been knockin'
but no one answers
And I've been knockin'
most all the day
Oh, and I've been callin'
oh, hey, hey Johnny
can't you come out to play?
Verse 3
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
Chorus
And I've been knockin'
but no one answers
And I've been knockin'
most all the day
oh, and I've been calling
oh, hey, hey Johnny
can't you come out, to play
Chorus
And I've been knockin'
but no one answers
And I've been knockin'
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
Outro
Johnny, can't you come out to play in your Empty Garden
(repeat)
