_ _ [A] And what's it for?
This little empty garden [E] by the brownstone door.
And in the cracks [B] along the starboard, _ _ nothing grows [C#m] no more. _ _ _
Who _ [A] _ lived here?

_ _ [E] to play? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

But he'd have said the [B] roots grow stronger _ if only he [C#m] could hear. _
Who _ _ [A] lived here?
_ He must have been a [E] gardener that cared a lot,
