      G (320003@1)                                  D (xx0232@1)  
What happened here? As the New York sunset disappeared
                  A (x02220@1)                          BmI (x24432@1)found an Empty Garden, among the flagstones there
     G (320003@1)                                            DWho (xx0232@1)lived here?  He must have been a gardener who cared a lot
                                     Awho (x02220@1)weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
                  BmNow (x24432@1)it all looks strange
                    G (320003@1)        A (x02220@1)            DIt's (xx0232@1)funny how one insect can damage so much grain

    G (320003@1)                                            DAnd (xx0232@1)what's it for, this little Empty Garden by the brownstone door
                             Aand (x02220@1)in the cracks along the sidewalk
                 Bmnothing (x24432@1)grows no more
     G (320003@1)                                         DWho (xx0232@1)lived here?  He must have been gardener who cared a lot
                                     Awho (x02220@1)weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
               Bmand (x24432@1)we are so amazed
                         Gwe're (320003@1)crippled and we're dazed
                     A (x02220@1)             DA (xx0232@1)gardener like that one, no one can replace

                                   Abut (x02220@1)he'd have said the roots grow stronger
                BmIf (x24432@1)only he were here
