 Turn me loose    from your hands

 Let me fly____ to distant lands
      F#                        
 Over green fields,    trees and 
 A
mountains
 E/B     B              E
 Flowers    and forest, fountains
 A              E/B  B       E
 Home along the line of the skyway.

          E                  B/D#
 For this dark    and lonely room
            A  E/B      B       
 Projects a shadow_____ castin' 
E
gloom
                 F#                
 And my eyes are mirrors    of the 
A
world outside
          E/B           B      
 Thinking of the way    that the 
           E
wind can turn the tide
           A                    
 And these shadows turn    from 
E/B    B    E
purple into grey.

 Let me wake up in the morning__
         B/D#
 to the smell of a new-mown hay
              A                   
 To laugh and cry,    to live and

die
 B      E
 In the brightness of my day
           F#
 I want to hear the pealing bells
            A
 Of distant churches sing
             E/B
 But most of all please free me
 B                E
 From this aching metal ring
     A             E/B    B      
 And open out this cage towards 
   E
the sun.
