A        C#m7  Bm7  E7
Though you maybe far away,
A        C#m7     Bm7  E7
a thousand miles from here today.
A        C#m7  Bm7     E7
it doesn't matter what they say
D        E7              A C#m7 Bm7 E7  A/C#m7/Bm7/E7
memories of Penang, will always stay.
A       C#m7     Bm7     E7       A/C#m7/Bm7/E7
It's the people who make the place, they say.
A      C#m7         Bm7    E7     A/C#m7/Bm7/E7
What you see is what you get, a friendly race.
A       C#m7        Bm7      E7              A/C#m7/Bm7/E7
How they live, what they eat & the way they sound.
A           C#m7  Bm7   E7             A/C#m7/Bm7/E7
Makes me (you) wanna travel homeward bound.

A       C#m7         Bm7E7              A/C#m7/Bm7/E7
When I hear someone ask "Where are you from"
A   C#m7  Bm7   E7    A/C#m7/Bm7/E7
P-E-N-A-N-G is my response.
A             C#m7         Bm7      E7     A/C#m7/Bm7/E7
I might have left with my feet,but not my heart.
A           C#m7       Bm7 E7            A/C#m7/Bm7/E7
Now all it takes is a song my yearning starts.
A             C#m7Bm7 E7
Though you maybe far away,
A            C#m7      Bm7   E7
a thousand miles from here today.

and we sing ooh oo...
A        C#m7  Bm7  E7
Though you maybe far away,

Memories of Penang (Latin Version)

Gordon Lightfoot - If you could read my mind v2

Some musicians’ look how they sound, but Jimmy Fong is a surprising exception. Listening to his fusion of Latin, Chinese, blues and Islander beats, you’d be forgiven for looking a little confused when a 5’7” Asian man with a beaming smile walks onto the stage. But the mystery is all part of the performance when it comes to Jimmy Fong. 
Growing up in Malaysia in the 1960s, Jimmy spent many a day learning the strings of his acoustic guitar. And that was before he hit the age of double digits. As a child he listened to local tunes with one ear, while tuning the other to Western influences like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, John Denver and of course, the infamous Elvis. 
Years later and Jimmy Fong has made his influencers proud. In 2011, he graced Malaysian television performing his original song – December Skies – with a 50pc live orchestra, which also won in the National Malaysian Songwriting competition. 
Jimmy Fong will do much more than entertain. He’ll take you on a nostalgic journey through song.
