Skyline Pigeon

        E              B/D#
Turn me loose from your hands
       A   B               E
Let me fly high to distant lands
    F#/A#                    A
Over green fields, trees and mountains
E/B      B7         E
Flowers and forest fountains
A              E/B   B7    E
Home along the lanes of the skyway

        E                B/D#
For this dark and lonely room
           A  B7           E
Projects a shadow cast in gloom
               F#/A#
And my eyes are mirrors
       A
Of the world outside
        E/B
Thinking of the way
B7               E
That the wind can turn the tide

          A
And these shadows turn
     E/B    B7   E
From purple into gray
              A
For just this Skyline Pigeon
E/B             B7
Dreaming of the open
E
Waiting for the day
       A
He can spread his wings
    E/B  B7   E      G#7/D#
And fly away again
    C#m  D#7           G#m
Fly away skyline pigeon fly
            A
Towards the dreams
               E/B  B7 E
You've left so very far behind

(Repeat from fly away)

            E
Just let me wake up in the morning
      G#m/D#
To the smell of new mown hay
A                            B7
To laugh and cry, to live and die
E
In the brightness of my day

          F#/A#
I want to hear the pealing bells
           A
Of distant churches sing
            E/B
But most of all please free me
B7                 E
From this aching metal ring
    A             E/B  B7          E
And open out this cage towards the sun
