D                A/C#  
Turn me loose  from your hands    
       G   A            D             E 
Let me fly  to distant lands  / Over green fields 
            G           D/A       A              D  
trees and  mountains/  Flowers  and forest, fountains 

    G                     A 
/ Home  along the lanes of the  
D                                     A/C#  
skyway  /  For this dark  and lonely room   
            G    A         D 
projects a shadow  castin in gloom  
                E               G  
And my eyes  are mirrors  of the world  outside   
  D/A           A 
Thinking of the way   
                  D  
that the wind can turn the side   
            G                  A             D 
And  these shadows  turn from purple into grey  
              G              A  
For just a  skyline pigeon  dreaming    
               D 
of the open, wainting for the day  
        G                  A            D  
He can spread his wings  and fly away again    
F#7   Bm    C#7 
 Fly away, skyline pigeon  
F#m              G  
fly  towards the dreams  you've  left so  
D     A     D 
very far behind  
            D  
Let me wake up in the morning /  
       A/C# 
To the smell of new mown hay  
              G             A              D        
to laugh and cry to live and die  In the brightness of 
my day  
          E  
I want to hear the peeling bells of distant  
G                              D/A 
churches  sing  / But most of all please  
         A                 D  
free  me from this aching metal ring  /  
    G              A               D 
And open out this cage towards the sun .
