Skyline Pigeon
verse 1
DA/C#
Turn the loose from your hands
GAA7D
Let me fly to distant lands
E/G#G
Over green fields, trees and mountains
D/AAA7D
Flowers and forest fountains
GD/AA7D
Home along the lanes of the skyway
verse 2
DA/C#
For this dark and lonely room
GAA7D
Projects a shadow cast in gloom
E/G#
And my eyes are mirrors
G
Of the world outside
D/A
Thinking of the way
AA7D
That the wind can turn he tide
G
And these shadows turn
DAD
Chorus
G
For just this Skyline Pigeon
D/AA7
Dreaming of the open
D
Waiting for the day
G
He can spread his wings
D/AA7DF#7/C#
And fly away again
BmC#7F#m
Fly away Skyline pigeon fly
GD/AA7D
Towards the dreams you left so very far behind
(repeat from fly away)
Verse 3
(Same chords as verses 1 & 2)
Just let me wake up in the morning
to the smell of new mown hay
to laugh and cry, to live and die
I the brightness of my day
I want to hear the pealing bells
Of distant churches sing
But most of all please free me
and open out this cage towards the sun
(Repeat chorus)
