  • Verse 1
    What 
    happened 
    here 

    as 
    the 
    New 
    York 
    sunset 
    disappeared? 

    found 
    an 
    empty 
    garden 

    among 
    the 
    flagstones 
    there 

    Who 
    lived 
    here? 

    He 
    must 
    have 
    been 
    gardener 

    that 
    cared 
    lot 

    Who 
    weeded 
    out 
    the 
    tears 

    and 
    grew 
    good 
    crop 

    Now 
    it 
    all 
    looks 
    strange 

    It's 
    funny 
    how 
    one 
    in
    sect 

    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, 

    nothin' 
    grows 
    no 
    more 

    Who 
    lived 
    here? 

    He 
    must 
    have 
    been 
    gardener 

    that 
    cared 
    lot 

    Who 
    weeded 
    out 
    the 
    tears 

    and 
    grew 
    good 
    crop 

    And 
    we 
    are 
    so 
    a
    mazed, 

    we're 
    crippled 
    and 
    we're 
    dazed 

    gardener 
    like 
    that 
    one, 

    no 
    one 
    can 
    re
    place 

    Chorus 1
    And 
    I've 
    been 
    knockin', 

    but 
    no 
    one 
    answers 

    And 
    I've 
    been 
    knockin' 

    most 
    of 
    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 
    here? 

    He 
    must 
    have 
    been 
    gardener 

    that 
    cared 
    lot 

    Who 
    weeded 
    out 
    the 
    tears 

    and 
    grew 
    good 
    crop 

    Now 
    we 
    pray 
    for 
    rain, 

    and 
    with 
    every 
    drop 
    that 
    falls 

    We 
    hear, 
    we 
    hear 
    your 
    name 

    Chorus 2
    And 
    I've 
    been 
    knockin', 

    but 
    no 
    one 
    answers 

    And 
    I've 
    been 
    knockin' 

    most 
    of 
    the 
    day 

    Oh, 
    and 
    I've 
    been 
    callin', 

    "oh, 
    hey, 
    hey, 
    Johnny 

    Can't 
    you 
    come 
    out 
    to 
    play?" 

    Chorus 3
    And 
    I've 
    been 
    knockin', 

    but 
    no 
    one 
    answers 

    And 
    I've 
    been 
    knockin' 

    most 
    of 
    the 
    day 

    Oh, 
    and 
    I've 
    been 
    callin', 

    "oh, 
    hey, 
    hey, 
    Johnny 

    Can't 
    you 
    come 
    out? 

    Can 
    you 
    come 
    out 
    to 

    Outro 1
    (play?") 
    Johnny, 
    can't 
    you 
    come 
    out 
    to 
    play 

    in 
    your 
    empty 
    garden? 

    Johnny, 
    can't 
    you 
    come 
    out 
    to 
    play 

    in 
    your 
    empty 
    garden? 

    Johnny, 
    can't 
    you 
    come 
    out 
    to 
    play 

    in 
    your 
    empty 
    garden? 

    Johnny, 
    can't 
    you 
    come

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
