verse 1
RE LA/DO#
Turn the loose from your hands
SOL LA LA7 RE
Let me fly to distant lands
MI/SOL# SOL
Over green fields, trees and mountains
RE/LA LA LA7 RE
Flowers and forest fountains
SOL RE/LA LA7 RE
Home along the lanes of the skyway
verse 2
RE LA/DO#
For this dark and lonely room
SOL LA LA7 RE
Projects a shadow cast in gloom
MI/SOL#
And my eyes are mirrors
SOL
Of the world outside
RE/LA
Thinking of the way
LA LA7 RE
That the wind can turn he tide
SOL
And these shadows turn
RE/LA LA7 RE
From purple into grey
Chorus
SOL
For just this Skyline Pigeon
RE/LA LA7
Dreaming of the open
RE
Waiting for the day
SOL
He can spread his wings
RE/LA LA7 RE FA#7/DO#
And fly away again
SIm DO#7 FA#m
Fly away Skyline pigeon fly
SOL RE/LA LA7 RE
Towards the dreams you left so very far behind
(repeat from fly away)
Verse 3
(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)
