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
