Orion by Anais Mitchell

From: Amelia Keating-Isaksen 

This song is quite amazing from Miss Mitchell, and not very hard. I use 
improv picking when I play it.

         G              Bm               C             D
You were dead when they found you on the floor of your apartment
         G             Bm                  C              D        D*
You were dead and your drumset stood there shining in the dark
             C            G                 D
Shining like stagelights, shining like your eyes
C            D            G    
Shining like Orion in the night
               G            Bm               C                D
You were small-time back in Austin where the drummers are all poor
         G                Bm                   C              D    
You were rocking out this dark bar; there were bottles on the floor
      D*            C           G              D       
And a couple lonely people, the bartender, and I
C                  D        G
Remembered what it is to be alive


Chorus:
   D*             C
Hey Orion, he's a-falling
G                D
Catch him if you can
   D*           C
Hey Orion, he's calling
G     D     G
Amen, amen, amen


Were you dreaming of the big-time when you fell down all alone?
Did you see a velvet curtain and a silver microphone?
Could you hear your own heart beating, did you feel it getting slow?
Did you hear your own heart playing rock and roll?

(Chorus)

(Instrumental)

G                 Bm           C          D
Grandpa sits in a hotel, Buddy Holly on a plane
G                Bm                   C       D
And you, in your apartment, with your drumset shining
D*               C        G                 D
Shining like stagelights, shining like your eyes
C            D            G
Shining like Orion in the night


(Chorus)
