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
