Far Away Places chords by Bing Crosby

Chords with lyrics

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 MajorD
Far away places with strange-sounding names
D MajorD         A7A7
Far away over the sea
    D MajorD             G+G
Those far away places with their strange-sounding names
  D MajorD     A7A7   D MajorD
Are callin', callin' me.

(v.2)
D MajorD
Goin' to China, or maybe Siam
D MajorD          A7A7
I want to see for myself
    D MajorD            G+G
Those far away places I've been reading about
   D MajorD      A7A7      D MajorD
In a book that I took from the shelf.


(Bridge:)
  G+G            D MajorD
I start gettin' restless whenever I hear
   A7A7      D MajorD
The whistle of a train.
  G+G           D MajorD
I pray for the day I can get underway
  E MajorE             A augmentedA
And look for those castles in Spain.


(v.3)
   D MajorD
They call me a dreamer, well maybe I am
D MajorD         A7A7
But I know that I'm yearnin' to see
    D MajorD             G+G
Those far away places with their strange-sounding names
     D MajorD    A7A7   D MajorD
That are callin', callin' me.


(Repeat entire.)
