D
Turn me loose
          A/C#
From your hands
        G   A
Let me fly
            D
To distant lands
       E
Over green fields
       G
Trees and mountains
D/A      A           D
Flowers and forest fountains
G               A            D
Home along the lanes of the skyway
D
For this dark
           A/C#
And lonely room
            G     A
Projects a shadow
            D
Castin in gloom
                 E
And my eyes are mirrors
         G
Of the world outside
        D/A
Thinking of the way
A                  D
That the wind can turn the side
            G
And these shadows turn
      A           D
From purple into grey

Pré-refrão:
              G
For just a skyline pigeon
A
Dreaming of the open
D
Wainting for the day
         G
He can spread his wings
     A         D
And fly away again

Refrão:
F#7  Bm
Fly away
C#7            F#m
Skyline pigeon fly
              G
Towards the dreams you've left so
   A     D
Very far behind

(Refrão)

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

(Pré-Refrão)

(Refrão 2x)

Final: D  A/C#  Bm  A  G  A  A/C#  D
