Elton John - Skyline pigeon

Tom: D

D
Turn me loose
A/C#
From your hands
G A
Let me fly
D
To distant lands
E
Over green fields
G
Trees and mountains
D/A A D
Flowers and forest fountains
G A D
Home along the lanes of the skyway
D
For this dark
A/C#
And lonely room
G A
Projects a shadow
D
Castin in gloom
E
And my eyes are mirrors
G
Of the world outside
D/A
Thinking of the way
A D
That the wind can turn the tide
G
And these shadows turn
A D
From purple into grey

Pr-refro:
G
For just a skyline pigeon
A
Dreaming of the open

D
Wainting for the day
G
He can spread his wings
A D
And fly away again

Refro:
F#7 Bm
Fly away
C#7 F#m
Skyline pigeon fly
G
Towards the dreams you've left so
A D
Very far behind

(Refro)

D
Let me wake up in the morning
A/C#
To the smell of new mown hay
G
To laugh and cry
A
To live and die
D
In the brightness of my day
E
I want to hear the peeling bells
G
Of distant churches sing
D/A
But most of all please free
A D
Me from this aching metal ring
G A D
And open out this cage towards the sun

(Pr-Refro)

(Refro 2x)

Final: D A/C# Bm A G A A/C# D
