E B/D#
Turn me loose from your hands
F# A
Over green fields, trees and 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
F# A
And my eyes are mirrors of the world outside
E/B B E
Thinking of the way that the wind can turn the tide
A E/B B E
And these shadows turn from purple into grey.
A
For just a skyline pigeon
E/B B E
Dreaming of the open waiting for the day
A B7 E G#/D#
He can spread his wings and fly away again___
A E/B B E G#/D#
Towards the dreams you've left so very far behind.
A E/B B E
Towards the dreams you've left so very far behind.
E
Let me wake up in the morning__
B/D#
to the smell of a new-mown hay
A E/B
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 E
And open out this cage towards the sun.
A
For just a skyline pigeon
E/B B E
Dreaming of the open waiting for the day
A B7 E G#/D#
He can spread his wings and fly away again___
A E/B B E G#/D#
Towards the dreams you've left so very far behind
A E/B
Towards the dreams you've left so very...
B7 E B/D#: C#m C#m/B: A E/B B: E
So very far... behind
