There are songs that birds don't sing to people. _
[Bb] There are secrets you keep right through to the end.
[C] There are heroes that hide until forever. _
And I'm singing this song for [F] one of them. _
He's the man that you passed on the road there.
[Bb] The one with his life on the loose. _
[C] Going either somewhere or nowhere. _
Going without meaning [F] with you. _
For he is this world's constant orphan. _ _
[Bb] Raffling out his long time. _ _
[C] Living on apples from orchards.
And dying [Gm] from grapes [F] on the vine. _ _

[Dm] You can find him in big [Bb] city _ winters.
[F] Down where the mission [C] bell cries.
[F] And the sorrow _ [Bb] echoes through summer.
[C] As he tries to close [F] all his eyes. _
And dream of his railroad existence. _
[Bb] As if it were some kind of dream. _
[C] As if the extent of the distance. _ _
Were what his heart would [F] call him. _ _
_ _ _ _ You _ _

_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
can find him in Pittsburgh [Bb] at Christmas. _
[F] You can find him in Buffalo [C] and June. _
[Dm] And he knows all the back [Bb] roads between them. _
[C] Like a gypsy he knows [F] the road. _
[Dm] And it's road 22 [Bb] all over again.
[F] If you come down and try to look [C] like somebody's friend.
[Dm] Look strong and demand.
[Bb] Wild for the girl.
[C] Puzzled at the rest [F] of the world. _
For he is this world's constant orphan. _ _
[Bb] _ Raffling out his long time. _ _
[C] Living on apples from orchards.
And dying from grapes [F] on the vine. _ _
[C] Living on apples from orchards.
And dying from grapes on [F] the vine. _ _
