(v.1)
D5
Far away places with strange-sounding names
D5                  A5
Far away over the sea
       D5                          G5
Those far away places with their strange-sounding names
    D5         A5     D5
Are callin', callin' me.


(v.2)
D5
Goin' to China, or maybe Siam
D5                    A5
I want to see for myself
       D5                        G5
Those far away places I've been reading about
     D5            A5            D5
In a book that I took from the shelf.


(Bridge:)
   G5                        D5
I start gettin' restless whenever I hear
     A5           D5
The whistle of a train.
   G5                     D5
I pray for the day I can get underway
    E5                          A5
And look for those castles in Spain.


(v.3)
      D5
They call me a dreamer, well maybe I am
D5                  A5
But I know that I'm yearnin' to see
       D5                          G5
Those far away places with their strange-sounding names
          D5        A5     D5
That are callin', callin' me.
