Elton John- Empty Garden (Hey, Hey Johnny) chords
Start Jamming...
[A] What happened here as the New York sunset [E] disappeared?
I found an empty [B] garden among the flagstones [C#m] there.
Who [A] lived here?
He must have been a gardener [E] that cared a lot,
Weeded out the tears and [B] grew a good crop.
Now it all looks [C#m] strange.
It's funny how [B] one [A] insect can [B] damage so much [E] grain.
[A] And what's it for?
This little empty garden [E] by the brownstone door.
And in the cracks [B] along the starboard, nothing grows [C#m] no more.
Who [A] lived here?
He must have been a [E] gardener that cared a lot,
Weeded out the tears and [B] grew a good crop.
And we are so [C#m] amazed.
We're crippled and [A] aghast.
A gardener [B] like that one no one can [E] replace.
And I've [A] been knocking, but no [E] one answers.
And I've [A] been knocking most all the [C#m] day.
[F#m]
Oh, hey [C#m] Johnny, can't you [A] come out [B]
[E] to play?
[A] He threw the tears, some say he farmed his [E] best in younger years.
But he'd have said the [B] roots grow stronger if only he [C#m] could hear.
Who [A] lived here?
He must have been a [E] gardener that cared a lot,
Weeded out the tears [B] and grew a good crop.
Now we pray [C#m] for rain.
And with every drop [A] that falls, [B] we hear, we hear [E] your name.
And I've [A] been knocking, but no [E] one answers.
[A]
Most all [C#m] the day,
[F#m]
[C#m] Johnny, can't you [A] come out [B]
[E] to play?
And I've [A] been knocking, but no [E] one answers.
[A]
Most all [C#m] the day,
[F#m] Johnny,
[C#m]
can't you [A] come out [B]
[E] to play?
[F#m]
Johnny, [A] can't you come out to [B]
play in your [E] empty garden?
[F#m]
Johnny, [A] can't you come out [B] to play in your [E] empty garden?
