D Verse: D A Turn me loose from your hands G A7 D Let me fly....to distant lands E7 G Over green fields trees and mountains D A7 D Flowers....and forest, fontains G A7 D Home along the line of the skyway D A For this dark and lonely room G A7 D projects a sha..dow castinʼ gloom E7 G And my eyes are mirrors of the world outside D Thinking of the way A7 D that the wind can turn the side Pre-chorus: G A7 D And these shadows turn from purple into grey G A7 For just a skyline pigeon dreaming D of the open, wainting for the day G A7 D He can spread his wings and fly away again Chorus: F#7 Bm C#7 F#m Fly away, skyline pigeon fly G towards the dreams youʼve left so D A7 D very far behind Verse: D Just let me wake up in the morning A To the smell of new-mown hay G A7 D to laugh and cry to live and die In the brightness of my day D7 I want to hear the peeling bells of distant G D churches sing / But most of all please A7 D free me from this aching metal ring G A7 D And open out this cage towards the sun. Pre-chorus. Chorus. 2x
