'Skyline Pigeon' by Elton John - Guitar Tutorial

            Tom: D  
 
         D                A
Turn me loose  from your hands 
        G  A7       D
Let me fly....to distant lands 
      E7                       G
Over green fields trees and  mountains 
 D      A7                D
Flowers....and forest, fontains 
  G               A7           D
 Home  along the line of the skyway 
 
          D                A
For this dark  and lonely room 
             G   A7          D
projects a sha..dow castin' gloom 
                 E7              G
And my eyes are mirrors of the world  outside 
         D
Thinking of the way 
 A7                 D
that the wind can turn the side 
 
REFRAIN:
             G               A7           D
And these shadows turn from purple into grey 
             G              A7
For just a skyline pigeon  dreaming 
                D
of the open, wainting for the day 
         G                   A7         D
He can spread his wings  and fly away again 
 
CHORUS: 
 F#7  Bm     C#7           F#m
Fly away, skyline pigeon fly 
               G
towards the dreams you've left so 
 D    A7   D
very far behind 
 
VERSE:
             D
Just let me wake up in the morning / 
        A
To the smell of new-mown hay 
              G              A7            D
to laugh and cry to live and die In the brightness of my day 
           D7
I want to hear the peeling bells of distant 
 G                                D
churches  sing / But most of all please 
          A7                D
free  me from this aching metal ring / 
     G             A7               D
And open out this cage towards the sun . 
 
Repeat refrain 
Repeat chorus 2x
