INTRO: E5  B5 : C#5  C#5 : A5  E5 B5 : E5

         E5                  B5
 Turn me loose    from your hands
        A5   E5       B5    E5
 Let me fly____ to distant lands
      F#5                         A5
 Over green fields,    trees and mountains
 E5     B5              E5
 Flowers    and forest, fountains
 A5              E5  B5       E5
 Home along the line of the skyway.
   

          E5                  B5
 For this dark    and lonely room
            A5  E5      B5       E5
 Projects a shadow_____ castin' gloom
                 F#5                A5
 And my eyes are mirrors    of the world outside
          E5           B5                 E5
 Thinking of the way    that the wind can turn the tide
           A5                    E5    B5    E5
 And these shadows turn    from purple into grey.


             A5
 For just a skyline pigeon
 E5         B5        E5
 Dreaming of the open waiting for the day
         A5                   B5        E5    G#5
 He can spread his wings and fly away again___


      C#5      D#5           G#5
 Fly away____ Skyline pigeon fly
             A5                     E5  B5     E5   G#5
 Towards the dreams you've left so very far behind.
      C#5      D#5           G#5
 Fly away____ Skyline pigeon fly
             A5                     E5  B5     E5
 Towards the dreams you've left so very far behind.


        E5
 Let me wake up in the morning__
         B5
 to the smell of a new-mown hay
              A5                   E5
 To laugh and cry,    to live and die
 B5      E5
 In the brightness of my day
           F#5
 I want to hear the pealing bells
            A5
 Of distant churches sing
             E5
 But most of all please free me
 B5                E5
 From this aching metal ring
     A5             E5    B5         E5
 And open out this cage towards the sun.


             A5

 E5         B5        E5
 Dreaming of the open waiting for the day

 So very far... behind
