         Eb
Turn me loose
           Bb/D
From your hands
        Ab  Bb7
Let me fly
            Eb
To distant lands
        F
Over green fields
           Ab
Trees and mountains
  Eb/Bb  Bb7               Eb
Flowers       and forest fountains
 Ab               Bb            Eb
Home along the lanes of the skyway

For this dark
            Bb/D
And lonely room
             Ab     Bb
Projects a shadow
            Eb
Castin in gloom
                 F
And my eyes are mirrors
        Ab
Of the world outside
         Eb/Bb
Thinking of the way
  Bb7              Eb              
That the wind can turn the tide
                   Ab
And these shadows turn
      Bb           Eb
From purple into grey

              Ab
For just a skyline pigeon
  Bb
Dreaming of the open
Eb
Wainting for the day
         Ab
He can spread his wings
     Bb            Eb
And fly away again

G7       Cm
   Fly away
  D7             Gm
Skyline pigeon fly
              Ab
Towards the dreams you've left so
   Bb     Eb
Very far behind
G7       Cm
   Fly away
  D7             Gm
Skyline pigeon fly
              Ab
Towards the dreams you've left so
   Bb     Eb
Very far behind

        Eb
Let me wake up in the morning
         Bb/D
To the smell of new mown hay
               Ab
To laugh and cry
             Bb
To live and die
         Eb
In the brightness of my day
           F
I want to hear the peeling bells
             Ab
Of distant churches sing
            Eb/Bb
But most of all please free
     Bb              Eb
Me from this aching metal ring
    Ab             Bb               Eb
And open out this cage towards the sun

               Ab
For just a skyline pigeon
  Bb
Dreaming of the open
 Eb
Wainting for the day
          Ab
He can spread his wings
      Bb       Eb
And fly away again
