VerseDA
Turn the loose from your hands
GAA7D
Let me fly to distant lands
EG
Over green fields, trees and mountains
DAA7D
Flowers and forest fountains
GDA7D
Home along the lanes of the skyway
VerseDA
For this dark and lonely room
GAA7D
Projects a shadow cast in gloom
E
And my eyes are mirrors
G
Of the world outside

Thinking of the way
AA7D
That the wind can turn he tide
G
And these shadows turn
DA7D
From purple into grey
ChorusG
For just this Skyline Pigeon
DA7
Dreaming of the open

Waiting for the day
G
He can spread his wings
DA7DF#7
And fly away again
BmC#7F#m
Fly away Skyline pigeon fly
GDA7D
Towards the dreams you left so very far behind
(repeat from fly away)
Verse
(Same chords as verses 1 & 2)
Just let me wake up in the morning
to the smell of new mown hay
to laugh and cry, to live and die
I the brightness of my day
I want to hear the pealing bells
Of distant churches sing
But most of all please free me
from this aching metal ring
and open out this cage towards the sun
(Repeat Chorus)
