Empty Garden Uke tab by Elton John

A
What happened here
   E
 
As the New York sunset disappeared
  B    C#m
I found an empty garden among the flagstones there
    A
Who lived here
   E
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
B
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
C#m
And now it all looks strange
    B/AA    B    E
It's funny how one in-    sect can damage so much grain
 
    A
And what's it for
 E
This little empty garden by the brownstone door
  B
   C#m
And in the cracks along the sidewalk nothing grows no more
    A
Who lived here
   E
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
B
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
    C#mB/A  A
And we are so amazed we're crippled and we're dazed
 BE
A gardener like that one no one can replace
 
 
    A   E
And I've been knocking but no one answers
    AC#m  (G#m  C#m)
And I've been knocking most all the day
  F#mC#m
Oh and I've been calling oh hey hey Johnny
A  B    E
Can't you come out   to play
 
    A
And through their tears
E
Some say he farmed his best in younger years
    B
    C#m
But he'd have said that roots grow stronger if only he could hear
     A
Who lived there
   E
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
     B
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
 C#m B/A  A
Now we pray for rain, and with every drop that falls
   B                  E
We hear, we hear your name
 
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
 
F#m     A    B   E
Johnny, can't you come out to play in your empty garden
 
(repeat last line and fade)
