were dating. I don't know what key it's in originally, but I worked out suitable
chords for myself in key of D. I also like to play it with a 3/4 finger-picking
pattern of: p-i-m-a-m-i. I love its gentle prettiness. :) ]]
(v.1)
Far away places with strange-sounding names
Far away over the sea
Those far away places with their strange-sounding names
Are callin', callin' me.
(v.2)
Goin' to China, or maybe Siam
I want to see for myself
Those far away places I've been reading about
In a book that I took from the shelf.
(Bridge:)
I start gettin' restless whenever I hear
The whistle of a train.
I pray for the day I can get underway
And look for those castles in Spain.
(v.3)
They call me a dreamer, well maybe I am
But I know that I'm yearnin' to see
Those far away places with their strange-sounding names
That are callin', callin' me.
(Repeat entire.)
