SONG: Skyline Pigeon - Elton John/Bernie Taupin
Eb Bb
Turn me loose from your hands
Ab-Bb Eb
Let me fly to distant lands
F Ab
Over green fields, trees and mountains
Bb Bb7 Eb
Flowers and forest fountains
Ab Bb Eb
Home along the lanes of the skyway
Eb Bb
For this dark and lonely room
Ab Bb Eb
Projects a shadow cast in gloom
F
And my eyes are mirrors
Ab
Of the world outside
Eb
Thinking of the way
Bb Eb
That the wind can turn the tide
Ab
And these shadows turn
Bb Bb/Dm Eb
From purple into grey
Ab
For just a Skyline Pigeon
Eb Bb
Dreaming of the open
Eb
Waiting for the day
Ab
He can spread his wings
Eb Bb Eb
And fly away again
G C D Gm
Fly away skyline pigeon fly
Ab
Towards the dreams
Bb Bb/Dm Eb
You've left so very far behind
Just let me wake up in the morning
To the smell of new mown hay
To laugh and cry, to live and die
In 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
