Skyline Pigeon

         D              A               G   A              D
Turn me loose from your hands let me   fly     to distant lands
       E                      G         A                  D
Over green fields, trees and mountains flowers and forest fountains
G              A             D
Home along the lanes of the sky away
        D                A                   G A             D
For the dark and lonely room projects some shadows castin' gloom
                E              G
And my eyes are mirrors of the world outside
  A                           A7                D
Thinking of the way that the wind can turn the tide
           G                A7           D
And these shadows turn from purple into grey
            G              A                    A7              D
For just a skyline pigeon dreaming of the open, waiting for the day
              G                   A         D    F#
That he can spread his wings and fly away again

     Bm  C#             F#m              G                    A          D
Fly away skyline pigeon fly towards the dreams you've left so very far behind

D                                     A7
Let me wake up in the morning to the smell of new-moun hay
              G               A7          D
To laugh and cry, to live and die in the brightness of my day
         E                                 G
I wanna hear the pealing bells of distant churches sing
            A7                                        D
But most of all please free me from this aching metal ring
    G             A7               D
And open out this cage towards the sun
            G              A7                      D
For just a skyline pigeon dreaming of the open, waiting for the day
              G                  A7         D    F#
That he can spread his wings and fly away again

     Bm   C#            F#m              G                    A           D
Fly away skyline pigeon fly towards the dreams you've left so very far behind
