D/A  A7  D  A
[Verse 1]
D        D6              D               D6
Far away places with strange-sounding names
D        Bm        E9  A7
Far away over the sea
      D        Am                G                C9
Those far away places with the strange-sounding names
    D         A7     D
Are callin', callin' me.
[Verse 2]
D        D6        D    D6
Goin' to China, or maybe Siam
D         Bm      E9  A7
I want to see for myself
       D        Am                G        C9
Those far away places I've been reading about
     D              A7            D
In a book that I took from the shelf.
[Bridge]
   G            C9       D          D
I start gettin' restless whenever I hear
    Em     A7    D      D
the whistle of a train.
   G           C9            D       B7
I pray for the day I can get underway
    E9              E9        A
And look for those castles in Spain.
[Verse 3]
      D             D6       D      D6
They call me a dreamer, well maybe I am
D                   Bm        E9  A7
But I know that I'm yearnin' to see
       D        Am             G        C9
Those far away places with the strange-sounding names
          D        A7     D
That are callin', callin' me.
