Tom: D

          D              A/C#
Turn me loose from your hands
        G         A     D
Let me fly to distant lands
       E                           G
Over green fields, trees and mountains
D       A             D
Flowers and forest fountains
G                A             D
Home along the lanes of the skyway
          D                A/C#
For this dark and lonely room
          G     A            D
Projects a shadow cast in gloom
         E
And my eyes are mirrors
        G
Of the world outside
         D
Thinking of the way
      A                      D
That the wind can turn the tide
            G
And these shadows turn
      A             D
From purple into grey
             G
For just a Skyline Pigeon
A
Dreaming of the open
D
Waiting for the day
         G
He can spread his wings
     A        D
And fly away again
F#    Bm   C#            F#m
Fly away skyline pigeon fly
              G
Towards the dreams
         A                 D
You've left so very far behind
       D
Just let me wake up in the morning
        A/C#
To the smell of new mown hay
               G                 A
To laugh and cry, to live and die
              D
In the brightness of my day
           E
I want to hear the pealing bells
        G
Of distant churches sing
             D
But most of all please free me
    A             D
From this aching metal ring
     G              A
And open out this cage
              D
Towards the sun
