Orion chords by Anais Mitchell

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)
