Skyline Pigeon

      D               A/C#
Turn me loose from your hands
         G  G/A         D
Let me fly to distant lands
       E                         G
Over green fields, trees and mountains
 D/F#     A             D
Flowers and forest fountains
 G               A           D
Home along the lanes of a skyway
           D                A/C#
For this dark and lonely room
         G   G/A             D
Projects a shadow cast in gloom
                    E
And my eyes are mirrors
        G
Of the world outside
         D/F#
Thinking of the ways
         A                 D
That the wind can turn the tide
            G                A           D
And these shadows turn 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  F#
And fly away again
     Bm7   C#7               F#m  F#m/E
Fly away Skyline Pigeon fly
               G
Towards the things
                 A          D
You've left so very far behind

         D
Let me wake up in the morning
        A/C#
To the smell of new mown hay
               G                 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/F#                       A
But most of all please free me
                  D
From this aching metal ring
      G            A                D
And open out this cage towards the sun

Refrão
