D
Turn me loose
A/C#
From your hands
G A
Let me fly

To distant lands
E
Over green fields
G
Trees and mountains
D/A A D
Flowers and forest fountains
G A D
Home along the lanes of the skyway
D
For this dark
A/C#
And lonely room
G A
Projects a shadow
D
Castin in gloom
E
And my eyes are mirrors
G
Of the world outside
D/A
Thinking of the way
A D
That the wind can turn the side
G
And these shadows turn
A D
From purple into grey

For just a skyline pigeon

Dreaming of the open

Wainting for the day

He can spread his wings
A D
And fly away again

Towards the dreams you've left so

Very far behind

Let me wake up in the morning
A/C#
To the smell of new mown hay

To laugh and cry

To live and die
D
In the brightness of my day
E
I want to hear the peeling bells
G
Of distant churches sing
D/A
But most of all please free
A D
Me from this aching metal ring
G A D
And open out this cage towards the sun
(Pré-Refrão)
