Skyline Pigeon chords

          D               A/C#
Turn me loose from your hands
      G  A      A7      D
Let me fly to distant lands
             E/G#             G
Over green fields, trees and mountains
D/A    A       A7      D
Flowers and forest fountains
G         D/A        A7      D
Home along the lanes of the skyway

          D              A/C#
For this dark and lonely room
           G    A   A7      D
Projects a shadow cast in gloom
                E/G#
And my eyes are mirrors
       G
Of the world outside
         D/A
Thinking of the way
A        A7             D
That the wind can turn he tide
           G
And these shadows turn
      D/A    A7    D
From purple into grey

              G
For just this Skyline Pigeon
D/A             A7
Dreaming of the open
D
Waiting for the day
        G
He can spread his wings
    D/A   A7   D      F#7/C#
And fly away again
      Bm  C#7            F#m
Fly away  Skyline pigeon fly
             G                 D/A  A7    D
Towards the dreams you left so very far behind
(repeat from fly away)

         D
Just let me wake up in the morning
       A/C#
to the smell of new mown hay
        G  A      A7
to laugh and cry, to live and die
      D
I the brightness of my day

       E/G#
I want to hear the pealing bells
       G
Of distant churches sing
    D/A    A       A7
But most of all please free me
        D
from this aching metal ring
  G         D/A        A7      D
and open out this cage towards the sun
