You were Fdead when they Emfound you on the Ffloor of your Gapartment
F Em F G G*
You were dead and your drumset stood there shining in the dark
Shining like Fstagelights, Fshining like your Geyes
FShining like GOrion in the Fnight
You were small-Ftime back in EmAustin where the Fdrummers are all Gpoor
You were Frocking out this Emdark bar; there were Fbottles on the Gfloor
G* F F G
And a couple lonely people, the bartender, and I
FRemembered what it Gis to be Falive
Chorus:
G* F
Hey Orion, he's a-falling
FCatch him if you Gcan
G* F
Hey Orion, he's calling
FAmen, Gamen, Famen
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)
FGrandpa sits in a Emhotel, Buddy FHolly on a Gplane
FAnd you, in your Emapartment, with your Fdrumset Gshining
G* F F G
Shining like stagelights, shining like your eyes
FShining like GOrion in the Fnight
(Chorus)
