CAPO FRET ONE
G D
What happened here? As the New York sunset disappeared
A Bm
I found an Empty Garden, among the flagstones there
G D
Who lived here? He must have been a gardener who cared a lot
A
who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
Bm
Now it all looks strange
G A D
It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain
G D
And what's it for, this little Empty Garden by the brownstone door
A
and in the cracks along the sidewalk
Bm
nothing grows no more
G D
Who lived here? He must have been gardener who cared a lot
A
who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
Bm
and we are so amazed
G
we're crippled and we're dazed
A D
A gardener like that one, no one can replace

CHORUS
G
And I've been knockin'
D
and no one answers
G
And I've beeen knockin'
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
D
some say he farmed his best in younger years
A
but he'd have said the roots grow stronger
Bm
If only he were here
G D
Who lived here? He must have been a gardener who cared a lot
A
who weeded out the tears 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
CHORUS
G
And I've been knockin'
D
and no one answers
G
And I've been knockin'
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, can't you come out and play
Em G A D
Johnny, can't you come out to play in your Empty Garden
(repeat)
