Elton John – Skyline Pigeon (Guitar)

          D               A/C#
Turn me loose from your hands

      G  A      A7      D
Let me fly to distant lands

             E/G#             G
Over green fields, trees and mountains

D/A    A       A7      D
Flowers and forest fountains

G         D/A        A7      D
Home along the lanes of the skyway

          D              A/C#
For this dark and lonely room

           G    A   A7      D
Projects a shadow cast in gloom

                E/G#
And my eyes are mirrors

       G
Of the world outside

         D/A
Thinking of the way

A        A7             D
That the wind can turn he tide

           G
And these shadows turn

      D/A    A7    D
From purple into grey

              G
For just this Skyline Pigeon

D/A             A7
Dreaming of the open

D
Waiting for the day

        G
He can spread his wings

    D/A   A7   D      F#7/C#
And fly away again

      Bm  C#7            F#m
Fly away  Skyline pigeon fly

             G                 D/A  A7    D
Towards the dreams you left so very far behind

         D
Just let me wake up in the morning

       A/C#
to the smell of new mown hay

        G  A      A7
to laugh and cry, to live and die

      D
I the brightness of my day

       E/G#
I want to hear the pealing bells

       G
Of distant churches sing

    D/A    A       A7
But most of all please free me

        D
from this aching metal ring

  G         D/A        A7      D
and open out this cage towards the sun
