Empty Garden
(Elton John)

David Waller has submitted this song already, with a specific reguest for
an update. Trish Leblanc has supplied the complete lyrics. The following is
in the key of E, the same as EJ's performance.

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)
