[[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)
CFar away places with strange-sounding names
CFar away over the sG7ea
Those fCar away places with their sFtrange-sounding names
Are Ccallin', cG7allin' Cme.
(v.2)
CGoin' to China, or maybe Siam
CI want to see for mysG7elf
Those fCar away places I've been Freading about
In a Cbook that I tG7ook from the sChelf.
(Bridge:)
I sFtart gettin' restless wheCnever I hear
The wG7histle of a tCrain.
I pFray for the day I can Cget underway
And Dlook for those castles in SGpain.
(v.3)
They cCall me a dreamer, well maybe I am
CBut I know that I'mG7 yearnin' to see
Those fCar away places with their sFtrange-sounding names
That are cCallin', cG7allin' Cme.
