[[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) 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.)
