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. 
 
  
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. 
 
  
   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. 
 
      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.
