Orion said, This body is mine,
                  C       C/B   C  C/     B  Am  
And you may do with it whatever you like 
But when the sFky turns red you'd better come back hGome
'Cause EmI can't spend these summer nights alone
      C         C/B        C  C/     B  Am  
Orion said, I'm just a humble hunter
           C      C/B   C  C/    B  Am  
The dog the only company I keep
ForgiFve me if I fear that you will chGange me
But I've sEmeen my fortune written in the leaves
     CAh, C/Bpush it thAmrough! Ah, C/Gpush it thrFough!
Because the bCody C/Band the mAmind can't hC/Geal in tFwo
OrAmion and Emdog, how the rAmoad you've walked was Emlong
But the Amwinter of your sEmong
Is slowly faGding

                   C      C/B      C  C/         B  Am  
You should hold me like a bird inside your palm
'Cause FI can't be just another heart you've broGken
'Cause I'm gEmetting much too old
           C       C/B         C  C/      B  Am  
Orion, she said, I know all men are mortal
                 C          C/B          C  C/       B  Am  
And the ships in which you travel are full of thieves
But the oFnly way that you will ever have Gme
Is if you tEmhrow your body into the sea
    CAh, pC/Bush it thrAmough! Ah, pC/Gush it throFugh!
Because the bCody C/Band the mAmind can't hC/Geal in tFwo
OrAmion and Emdog, how your lAmight will live beEmyond
Your Amfinal summer sEmong
Or so it's faGted
