You were dead when they found you on the floor of your apartment
G+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD D*
You were dead and your drumset stood there shining in the dark
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Shining like stagelights, shining like your eyes
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Shining like Orion in the night
G+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD
You were small-time back in Austin where the drummers are all poor
G+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD
You were rocking out this dark bar; there were bottles on the floor
D* C majorC G+G D MajorD
And a couple lonely people, the bartender, and I
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Remembered what it is to be alive
Chorus:
D* C majorC
Hey Orion, he's a-falling
G+G D MajorD
Catch him if you can
D* C majorC
Hey Orion, he's calling
G+G D MajorD G+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+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD
Grandpa sits in a hotel, Buddy Holly on a plane
G+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD
And you, in your apartment, with your drumset shining
D* C majorC G+G D MajorD
Shining like stagelights, shining like your eyes
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Shining like Orion in the night
(Chorus)
