Intro: E B7 G#7 G7 F#m7 F7/9+ E6 B7/9+
E E6 E
Faraway places with strange-sounding names
F#m B7
Far away over the sea
E E7M A9 A7/9- A Am6
Those far-away places with the strange-sound-ing names
E B7 E Edim B7
Are calling, calling me
E E6 E
Goin' to China, or maybe Siam
F#m B7
I want to see for myself
E E7/9+ A9 A7/9- A Am6
Those far-away places I've been reading about
E B7 E
In a book that I took from the shelf
Bridge
E7 A Bm5-/7 E
I start getting restless whenever I hear
C7 B7 Bm5-/7 E E7
The whistle of a train
A B7 E
I pray for the day I can get underway
B7 F#7 F#m7 B7
And look for those castles in Spain
E E6 E
They call me a dreamer well, maybe I am
F#m B7
But I know that I'm burning to see
E E7M A A7M A7 D9
Those far-away places with the strange-sound-ing names
E B7 G#7 G7 F#m7 F7/9+ E6
Calling, calling me
