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

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