(ci:Intro:)

(F)        (Gm)        (C)     (F)
(F)        (Gm)        (C)     (F)

 F                Gm
Far away over the sea
          C                      F
There's a river that's calling to me
                        Gm
That river she runs all around
    C                    F
The place that I call my hometown
 F                                 Gm
There's a valley on the side of the hill
    C                 F
And flowers on an old windowsill
                         Gm
A familiar old picture it seems
         C                      F
And I'll go there tonight in my dreams

          Bb
Where it's green in the summer
    F
And gold in the fall
    G
Her eyes are as blue
       C
As the sky I recall


Far away over the sea
There's a place at the table for me
Where laughter and music abound
Just waiting there in my hometown

The river she freezes
When there's snow on the ground
And the children can slide
To the far side of town

Instrumental

(F)        (Gm)        (C)     (F)
(F)        (Gm)        (C)     (F)

Far away far away me
Hung up on a sweet memory
I'm lost and I wish I were found
In the arms of my darlin' hometown

With the evening sun sittin'
On the top of the hill
And the mockingbird answering
The old chapel bell

Far away over the sea
My heart is longing to be
And I wish I could lay myself down
In the arms of my darlin' hometown

Ending

(F)        (Gm)        (C)     (F)
