Empty Garden (Hey, Hey Johnny) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
What [F]happened here
as the New York sunset [C]disappeared?
I found an empty [G]garden
among the flagstones [Am]there
Who [F]lived here?
He must have been a gardener
that [C]cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears
and grew a [G]good crop
Now it all looks [Am]strange
It's funny how one [F]in sect
can [G]damage so much [C]grain

[Verse 2]
And [F]what's it for?
This little empty garden
by the [C]brownstone door
And in the cracks along the [G]sidewalk,
nothin' grows no [Am]more
Who [F]lived here?
He must have been a gardener
that [C]cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears
and grew a [G]good crop
And we are so a[Am]mazed,
we're crippled and we're [F]dazed
A gardener like [G]that one,
no one can re[C]place

[Chorus 1]
And I've been [F]knockin',
but no one [C]answers
And I've been [F]knockin'
most of the [Am]day
Oh, and I've been [Dm]callin',
"oh, hey, hey, [Am]Johnny
Can't you come [F]out [G]to pla[C]y?"
[C]

[Verse 3]
And [F]through their tears
Some say he farmed his best
in [C]younger years
But he'd have said
that roots [G]grow stronger,
if only he could [Am]hear
Who [F]lived here?
He must have been a gardener
that [C]cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears
and grew a [G]good crop
Now we pray for [Am]rain,
and with every drop that [F]falls
We [G]hear, we hear your [C]name

[Chorus 2]
And I've been [F]knockin',
but no one [C]answers
And I've been [F]knockin'
most of the [Am]day
Oh, and I've been [Dm]callin',
"oh, hey, hey, [Am]Johnny
Can't you come [F]out [G]to pla[C]y?"

[Chorus 3]
And I've been [F]knockin',
but no one [C]answers
And I've been [F]knockin'
most of the [Am]day
Oh, and I've been [Dm]callin',
"oh, hey, hey, [Am]Johnny
Can't you come [F]out?
[G]Can you come out to

[Outro 1]
[C](play?") [Dm]Johnny, [F]can't you come out to [G]play
in your empty [C]garden?
[Dm]Johnny, [F]can't you come out to [G]play
in your empty [C]garden?
[Dm]Johnny, [F]can't you come out to [G]play
in your empty [C]garden?
[Dm]Johnny, [F]can't you come out to [G]play
in your empty garden?
[Repeat and fade]
