[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
There's a far away [Am]land,
far across the sea,
a very strange land,
strange as it can be,
Where the [Dm]holy cows hair the [Am]right -of -way
And [E]the maharajah's on
[Am]the elephant's way
Hey, the birds are gold and
black and red
Yellow mangoes overhead
And it's [Dm]not uncommon
for a very small [Am]youth
To [E]go in search of the [Am]absolute truth
Oh, the absolute truth is all they say
There is no [Dm]night, [Am]there is no day
Hey, there is no you,
there is no me,
and everything just seems to be
[Dm]In dia, my I[Am]ndia,[E]
[Dm]never calling [Am]me
[Edim]India, b[Bbdim]eautiful I[Dm]ndia,
far [E]across [Am]the sea
Ma 'o, Ma 'o, Ma 'o, Ma 'o
There's a far away land
Far across the sea
A very strange land
Strange as it can be
It's [Dm]a land beyond your [Am]wildest dreams
A [E]land where the tropical [Am]jungle screams
There they tell you of Brahma
of Vishnu and Shiva
The tales that they tell you
are hard to believe
How they [Dm]walk on the wa[Am]ter
and they fly through the air
Man, it [E]sounds so fantastic,
I'd [Am]love to be there.
Oh, believe me,
fantastic is hardly the word.
They say that a yogi turned into a bird.
While a dark -eyed maiden
did an oriental dance,
And a cobra swayed
in a mystic [Dm]trance.
India, my Indi[E]a,[Am]
[Dm]Holy men wandering free.[Am]
[Dm]India, [Am]enchanted In di[Dm]a,
[E]holds my des[Am]tiny.
Aum, Aum, [E]Aum, [Dm]Aum.[Am]
