        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


    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

    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

    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

   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

                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
             G                          C/G
        And puzzled at the rest of the world

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