Introduction:
D A/C#
Turn me loose from your hands
G A D E
Let me fly to distant lands / Over green fields
G D/A A D
trees and mountains/ Flowers and forest, fountains
G A
/ Home along the lanes of the
D A/C#
skyway / For this dark and lonely room
G A D
projects a shadow castin in gloom
E G
And my eyes are mirrors of the world outside
D/A A
Thinking of the way
D
that the wind can turn the side
G A D
And these shadows turn from purple into grey
G A
For just a skyline pigeon dreaming
D
of the open, wainting for the day
G A D
He can spread his wings and fly away again
F#7 Bm C#7
Fly away, skyline pigeon
F#m G
fly towards the dreams you've left so
D A D
very far behind
D
Let me wake up in the morning /
A/C#
To the smell of new mown hay
G A D
to laugh and cry to live and die In the brightness of
my day
E
I want to hear the peeling bells of distant
G D/A
churches sing / But most of all please
A D
free me from this aching metal ring /
G A D
And open out this cage towards the sun .
