Far  A-way Pla-ces With strange sound-in' names
Far  A-way o - ver   the    sea__________
Those Far  A-way Pla-ces With strange sound-in' names
Are  call-in',   call-in'     me._______

Go - in' to  Chi-na    or   may-be  Si  -am
I  wan-na  see   for   my - self_____
Those Far   A-way Pla-ces Ive been read-in'  a - bout
In a book   that  I    took   from   a  shelf____

I  start  get-tin'  rest-less 
When-e-ver I hear the whis-tle  of   a   train___
I  pray  for  the    day  I  can   get  un-der - way 
And  look  for those   cas-tles  in   Spain___

They  call me  a  dream-er    Well  may-be   I    am 
But  I know  that I'm  burn-in'  to see____
Those Far  A-way Pla-ces With strange sound-in' names
call-in',     call-in'     me._______
