Skyline Pigeon Elton John
(E B\D# A\C# B A B E)*
E B\D#
Turn me loose from your hands
Let me [A]fl[B]y to distant [E]lands
F#\A# A
Over green fields, trees and mountains
E\B B7 E
Flowers and forest fountains
A E\B B7 E
Home along the lanes of the skyway
E B\D#
For this dark and lonely room
A E\B B7 E
Projects a sha___dow cast in gloom
F#\A#
And my eyes are mirrors
Of the [A]world outside
E\B
Thinking of the way
[B7]That the wind can [E]turn the tide
And these [A]shadows turn
E\B B7 E
For just a [A]Skyline Pigeon
E\B B7
Dreaming of the open
[E]Waiting for the day
He can [A]spread his wings
E\B B7 E G#7\D#
And fly away again
Fly a[C#m]way [D#7]skyline pigeon [G#m]fly
Towards the [A]dreams
E\B B7 E G#7\D#
You've left so very far behind
Fly a[C#m]way [D#7]skyline pigeon [G#m]fly
Towards the [A]dreams
E\B B7 E
You've left so very far behind
Just let me [E]wake up in the morning
G#m\D#
To the smell of new mown hay
To laugh and [A]cry, to live and [D7]die
In the [E]brightness of my day
F#\A#
I want to hear the pealing bells
Of distant [A]churches sing
E\B
But most of all please free me
[B7] [E]
A E\B E
And open out this cage towards the sun
For just a [A]Skyline Pigeon
E\B B7
Dreaming of the open
[E]Waiting for the day
He can [A]spread his wings
E\B B7 E G#7\D#
And fly away again
Fly a[C#m]way [D#7]skyline pigeon [G#m]fly
Towards the [A]dreams
E\B B7 E G#7\D#
You've left so very far behind
Fly a[C#m]way [D#7]skyline pigeon [G#m]fly
Towards the [A]dreams
E\B B7 E B C#m E\B A E\B B7 E
You've left so very, so very far behi_____nd.
