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

Johnny, [A] can't you come out to [B] play in your empty [E] garden?
