(E B\D# A\C# B A B E)*
E B\D#
Turn me loose from your hands
A B E
Let me fly to distant lands
F#\A# A
Over green fields, trees and mountains
E\B B7 E
Flowers and forest fountains
A E\B B7 E
Home along the lanes of the skyway
E B\D#
For this dark and lonely room
A E\B B7 E
Projects a sha___dow cast in gloom
F#\A#
And my eyes are mirrors
A
Of the world outside
E\B
Thinking of the way
B7 E
That the wind can turn the tide
A
And these shadows turn
E\B B7 E
From purple into grey
A
For just a Skyline Pigeon
E\B B7
Dreaming of the open
E
Waiting for the day
A
He can spread his wings
E\B B7 E G#7\D#
And fly away again
C#m D#7 G#m
Fly away skyline pigeon fly
A
Towards the dreams
E\B B7 E G#7\D#
You've left so very far behind
C#m D#7 G#m
Fly away skyline pigeon fly
A
Towards the dreams
E\B B7 E
You've left so very far behind
E
Just let me wake up in the morning
G#m\D#
To the smell of new mown hay
A D7
To laugh and cry, to live and die
E
In the brightness of my day
F#\A#
I want to hear the pealing bells
A
Of distant churches sing
E\B
But most of all please free me
B7 E
From this aching metal ring
A E\B E
And open out this cage towards the sun
A
For just a Skyline Pigeon
E\B B7
Dreaming of the open
E
Waiting for the day
A
He can spread his wings
E\B B7 E G#7\D#
And fly away again
C#m D#7 G#m
Fly away skyline pigeon fly
A
Towards the dreams
E\B B7 E G#7\D#
You've left so very far behind
C#m D#7 G#m
Fly away skyline pigeon fly
A
Towards the dreams
E\B B7 E B C#m E\B A E\B B7 E
You've left so very, so very far behi_____nd.
