Chords with lyrics

Skyline Pigeon

verse 1

     D MajorD        A/C#A/C#
Turn the loose from your hands
   G+G A augmentedA   A7A7   D MajorD
Let me fly to distant lands
       E/G#       G+G
Over green fields, trees and mountains
D/AD/A  A augmentedA    A7A7   D MajorD
Flowers and forest fountains
G+G     D/AD/A    A7A7   D MajorD
Home along the lanes of the skyway

verse 2
     D MajorD       A/C#A/C#
For this dark and lonely room
      G+G  A augmentedA  A7A7   D MajorD
Projects a shadow cast in gloom
        E/G#
And my eyes are mirrors
    G+G
Of the world outside
     D/AD/A
Thinking of the way
A augmentedA    A7A7       D MajorD
That the wind can turn he tide
      G+G
And these shadows turn
   D/AD/A  A7A7  D MajorD
From purple into grey

Chorus
       G+G
For just this Skyline Pigeon
D/AD/A       A7A7
Dreaming of the open
D MajorD
Waiting for the day
    G+G
He can spread his wings
  D/AD/A  A7A7  D MajorD   F#7/C#
And fly away again
   B minorBm C#7C#7      F# minorF#m
Fly away Skyline pigeon fly
       G+G         D/AD/A A7A7  D MajorD
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

from this aching metal ring

and open out this cage towards the sun

(Repeat chorus)
