Introduction:
D A/C#
Turn me loose from your hands
G G/A D
Let me fly to distant lands
E G
Over green fields, trees and mountains
D/F# A D
Flowers and forest fountains
G A D
Home along the lanes of a skyway
D A/C#
For this dark and lonely room
G G/A D
Projects a shadow cast in gloom
E
And my eyes are mirrors
G
Of the world outside
D/F#
Thinking of the ways
A D
That the wind can turn the tide
G A D
And these shadows turn from purple into grey
G
For just a Skyline Pigeon
A
Dreaming of the open
D
Waiting for the day
G
He can spread his wings
A D F#
And fly away again
Bm7 C#7 F#m F#m/E
Fly away Skyline Pigeon fly
G
Towards the things
A D
You've left so very far behind
D
Let me wake up in the morning
A/C#
To the smell of new mown hay
G G/A
To laugh and cry, to live and die
D
In the brightness of my day
E
I want to hear the pealing bells
G
Of distant churches sing
D/F# A
But most of all please free me
D
From this aching metal ring
G A D
And open out this cage towards the sun
Refrão
