Chords
[[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)
D Far away places with strange-sounding names D A7 Far away over the sea D G Those far away places with their strange-sounding names D A7 D Are callin', callin' me.
(v.2)
D Goin' to China, or maybe Siam D A7 I want to see for myself D G Those far away places I've been reading about D A7 D In a book that I took from the shelf.
(Bridge:)
G D I start gettin' restless whenever I hear A7 D The whistle of a train. G D I pray for the day I can get underway E A And look for those castles in Spain.
(v.3)
D They call me a dreamer, well maybe I am D A7 But I know that I'm yearnin' to see D G Those far away places with their strange-sounding names D A7 D That are callin', callin' me.
