Verse 
       G 
Those far away places with strange-soundin' names, 
                   D 
Far away over the sea, 
       G                          C 
Those far away places with the strange-soundin' names 
    G        D       G   G7   
Are callin', callin' me. 

Verse 
    C                         G 
I start gettin' restless whenever I hear 
      D             G    G7   
The whistle of a train, 
    C                      G 
I pray for the day, I can get under way, 
     A                          D 
And look for those castles in Spain 

Verse 
     G 
They called me a dreamer, well maybe, I am, 
                                D 
But I know that I'm longin' to see 
       G                         C 
Those far away places with the strange-soundin' names, 
G        D       G   G        D       G 
Callin', callin' me, callin', callin' me !
