[[This song is my dad's favorite lullaby, because my mom sang it to him when they

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)

[D]

Far away places with strange-sounding names

[D] [A7]

Far away over the sea

[D] [G]

Those far away places with their strange-sounding names

[D] [A7] [D]

Are callin', callin' me.

(v.2)

[D]

Goin' to China, or maybe Siam

[D] [A7]

I want to see for myself

[D] [G]

Those far away places I've been reading about

[D] [A7] [D]

In a book that I took from the shelf.

(Bridge:)

[G] [D]

I start gettin' restless whenever I hear

[A7] [D]

The whistle of a train.

[G] [D]

I pray for the day I can get underway

[E] [A]

And look for those castles in Spain.

(v.3)

[D]

They call me a dreamer, well maybe I am

[D] [A7]

But I know that I'm yearnin' to see

[D] [G]

Those far away places with their strange-sounding names

[D] [A7] [D]

That are callin', callin' me.

(Repeat entire.)
