[Intro]
E B/D# C#/A B A B E
[Verse 1]
E B/D#
Turn me loose from your hands
A B E
Let me fly to distant lands
F#/A# A
Over green fields, trees and mountains
E/B B7 E
Flowers and forest fountains
A E/B B7 E
Home along the lanes of the skyway
E B/D#
For this dark and lonely room
A E/B B7 E
Projects a sha___dow cast in gloom
F#/A#
And my eyes are mirrors
A
Of the world outside
E/B
Thinking of the way
B7 E
That the wind can turn the tide
A
And these shadows turn
E/B B7 E
From purple into grey
[Pre-Chorus]
A
For just a Skyline Pigeon
E/B B7
Dreaming of the open
E
Waiting for the day
A
He can spread his wings
E/B B7 E G#7/D#
And fly away again
[Chorus]
C#m D#7 G#m
Fly away skyline pigeon fly
A
Towards the dreams
E/B B7 E G#7/D#
You've left so very far behind
C#m D#7 G#m
Fly away skyline pigeon fly
A
Towards the dreams
E/B B7 E
You've left so very far behind
[Verse 2]
E
Just let me wake up in the morning
G#m/D#
To the smell of new mown hay
A B7
To laugh and cry, to live and die
E
In the brightness of my day
F#/A#
I want to hear the pealing bells
A
Of distant churches sing
E/B
But most of all please free me
B7 E
From this aching metal ring
A E/B E
And open out this cage towards the sun
[Pre-Chorus]
A
For just a Skyline Pigeon
E/B B7
Dreaming of the open
E
Waiting for the day
A
He can spread his wings
E/B B7 E G#7/D#
And fly away again
[Chorus]
C#m D#7 G#m
Fly away skyline pigeon fly
A
Towards the dreams
E/B B7 E G#7/D#
You've left so very far behind
C#m D#7 G#m

A
Towards the dreams
E/B B7 E B C#m E/B A E/B B7 E
You've left so very, so very far behi_____nd.
