Empty Garden (Hey, Hey Johnny) chords by Elton John
Verse 1
A
What happened here
E
as the New York sunset disappeared?
B
I found an empty garden
C#m
among the flagstones there
A
Who lived here?
He must have been a gardener
E
that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears
B
and grew a good crop
C#m
Now it all looks strange
A
It's funny how one in sect
B
E
can damage so much grain
Verse 2
A
And what's it for?
This little empty garden
E
by the brownstone door
B
And in the cracks along the sidewalk,
C#m
nothin' grows no more
A
Who lived here?
He must have been a gardener
E
that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears
B
and grew a good crop
C#m
And we are so amazed,
A
we're crippled and we're dazed
B
A gardener like that one,
E
no one can replace

And through their tears
Some say he farmed his best

Who lived here?
He must have been a gardener
