Far Away Places

Music and lyrics by 
Joan Whitney and Alex Cramer

 5  -5 5  4  3   
Far away places 

 4     5      -5   5    4
with strange sounding names,

 5  -5 5 4 3   5  -4
Far away over the sea.

 3     5  -5 5  4  3  
Those far away places 

 6    6    6  -5  5 -4
I've been reading about

3  3  5    3   3  -4    3   3    4
In a book that I took from the shelf.

4  -5   -5 -5   -5   6   -5 -5 5 -4  5
I start getting restless whenever I hear

 5  -4  3  -4  3   5
The whistle of a train.

4 -5   -5  -5  -5  6 -5  -5  5  5  5
I pray for the day I can get underway

 6   6    5    4    4  -3  4   -4
And look for those castles in Spain.

 5 -5 5   4  3  4  5 -5 5 4
Going to China or maybe Siam

 5  -5 5 4 3   5  -4
Far away over the sea.

  3    5  -5 5  4  3  
Those far away places 

 6     6    6 -5   5 -4
I've been dreaming about

 4   5   3   -4   3   4
Are calling, calling me.
