[[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)
DFar away places with strange-sounding names
DFar away over the sA7ea
Those fDar away places with their sGtrange-sounding names
Are Dcallin', cA7allin' Dme.
(v.2)
DGoin' to China, or maybe Siam
DI want to see for mysA7elf
Those fDar away places I've been Greading about
In a Dbook that I tA7ook from the sDhelf.
(Bridge:)
I sGtart gettin' restless wheDnever I hear
The wA7histle of a tDrain.
I pGray for the day I can Dget underway
And Elook for those castles in SApain.
(v.3)
They cDall me a dreamer, well maybe I am
DBut I know that I'mA7 yearnin' to see
Those fDar away places with their sGtrange-sounding names
That are cDallin', cA7allin' Dme.
