Standard (EADGBE)

(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.)
