_ _ [Dm] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Bb] _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
Turn me loose from [Gm] your hands
Let [Ab] me fly [Gm] to [Eb] distant lands
[F] Over green fields, trees [Ab] and mountains _
[Eb] Flowers [Bb] and [Eb] forest _ fountains
[Ab] Home [Bb] along the lanes of [Eb] the skyway
For this dark and [Bb] lonely room
Projects [Ab] a shadow [Eb] cast in bloom
And my eyes [F] are mirrors of [Ab] the world outside
Thinking [Eb] of the way [Bb] that the wind [Eb] can turn the tide
And [Ab] these shadows turn [Bb] from purple [Eb] into grey
For just [Ab] a skyline pigeon dreaming of the [Eb] open waiting for the day
He [Ab] can spread his wings, fly away [Eb] again
[Dm] Fly, [Cm] _ _ [D] skyline pigeon, [Gm] fly
_ Towards [Ab] the dreams you've left [Bb] so very [Eb] far behind
[Dm] Fly, _
[Cm] _ _ [D] skyline pigeon, [Gm] fly
Towards [Ab] the dreams you've left [F] so very [Eb] far behind
_ Just let me wake up in the morning
[Bb] To the smell of new mown hay
To [Ab] laugh and cry, to live and [Bb] die in the [Eb] brightness of my day
[A] I wanna hear the pealing bells of [Ab] distant churches sing
But [Eb] most of all, please [Bb] free me from this [Eb] aching metal ring
[Ab] And open up this cage [Eb] towards the sun
For just [Ab] this skyline pigeon dreaming of the [F] open [Eb] waiting for the day
[Ab] He can spread his wings and [Bb] fly away [Eb] again
Fly, [Cm] _ _ [D] skyline [Gm] pigeon, fly
Towards [Ab] the things you've left so very [Eb] far behind
[Cm] Fly, _ [D] skyline [Gm] pigeon, fly
Towards [Ab] the things you've [Eb] left so very, so very [Bb]
far _ _ [Eb] behind
