1st PART:
Verse 1:
C/G
There are songs that birds don't sing to people
F
There are secrets that keep right through to the end
G
There are heroes who hide until forever
C/G
And i'm singing this song for one of them
Verse 2:
C/G
He's the man that you passed on the road there
F
The one with his life on the loose
G
Going either somewhere or nowhere
C/G
Going without me,without you
Chorus:
C/G
For he is this world's constant orphan
F
Traveling out his lone time
G
Living on apples from orchards
C/G
Dying from grapes on the vine
2nd PART:
Verse 3:
C/G Am F
You can find him in big city winters
C/G G
Down where the mission bell cries
Am F
And sorrow echoes through summer
G C/G
As he tries to close all his eyes
Verse 4:
C/G Am F
You can find him in Pittsburgh in Christmas
C/G G
You can find him in Buffalo in June
Am F
And he knows all the backroads between them
G C/G
Like the gypsy knows the moon
Verse 5:
Am F
And it's route 22 all over again
G C/G
Stick your thumb out and try to look like somebody's friend
Am F
Look strong at the man,gentle at the girl

And puzzled at the rest of the world

Living on apples from orchards
C/G
Dying from grapes on the vine
