Turn me lEoose from your B/D#hands

Let me Afly Bhigh to distant Elands

OverF#/A# green fields, trees and Amountains

E/BFlowers aB7nd forest fEountains

AHome along the E/Blanes B7of theE skyway

For thisE dark and lonely B/D#room

Projects a AshaB7dow cast in gEloom

And my eyes areF#/A# mirrors

Of the Aworld outside

ThinkingE/B of the way

B7That the wind canE turn the tide

And these Ashadows turn

From E/Bpurple B7into Egray

For just this ASkyline Pigeon

E/BDreaming of the B7open

EWaiting for the day

He can Aspread his wings

And E/Bfly aB7way aEgain G#7/D#

Fly C#maway D#7skyline pigeonG#m fly

Towards the Adreams

You've left so E/Bvery B7farE behind

Fly C#maway D#7skyline pigeonG#m fly

Towards the Adreams

You've left so E/Bvery B7farE behind

Just let me Ewake up in the morning

To theG#m/D# smell of new mown hay

ATo laugh and cry, to live andB7 die

EIn the brightness of my day

I want to F#/A#hear the pealing bells

Of distant Achurches sing

But most of E/Ball please free me

B7From this aching meEtal ring

And Aopen out this E/Bcage B7towards the Esun

Repeat Chorus
