Tom: D
D A
Turn me loose from your hands
G A7 D
Let me fly….to distant lands
E7 G
Over green fields trees and mountains
D A7 D
Flowers….and forest, fontains
G A7 D
Home along the line of the skyway
D A
For this dark and lonely room
G A7 D
projects a sha..dow castin’ gloom
E7 G
And my eyes are mirrors of the world outside
D
Thinking of the way
A7 D
that the wind can turn the side
REFRAIN:
G A7 D
And these shadows turn from purple into grey
G A7
For just a skyline pigeon dreaming
D
of the open, wainting for the day
G A7 D
He can spread his wings and fly away again
CHORUS:
F#7 Bm C#7 F#m
Fly away, skyline pigeon fly
G
towards the dreams you’ve left so
D A7 D
very far behind
VERSE:
D
Just let me wake up in the morning /
A
To the smell of new-mown hay
G A7 D
to laugh and cry to live and die In the brightness of my day
D7
I want to hear the peeling bells of distant
G D
churches sing / But most of all please
A7 D
free me from this aching metal ring /
G A7 D
And open out this cage towards the sun .
Repeat refrain
Repeat chorus 2x
