Intro B/F# E
[Verse]
B/F# E B/F# E
When I was a young boy, my mama said to me
B/F# E
There's only one girl in the world for you
B/F# E
And she's probably in Tahiti
B/F# E
Or maybe she's in the Bahamas
B/F# E
Where the Caribbean Sea is blue
B/F# E
We've been in a tropical moonlight night
B/F# E
Cause nobody taught her 'bout you
[Chorus]
B/F#
I'd go the whole wide world, I'd go the whole wide world
E
Just to find her
B/F#
I'd go the whole wide world, I'd go the whole wide world
E
To find out where they hide her
[Verse]
B/F# E
Why am I hanging around in the rain out here
B/F# E
Trying to pick up a girl
B/F# E
Why are my eyes filling up with these lonely tears
B/F# E
When there's girls all over the world
B/F# E
Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere
B/F# E
Underneath the tropical sun
B/F# E
Pining away in a heat wave there
B/F# E
Hoping that I won't be long
B/F# E
I should be lying on that sun soaked beach with her
B/F# E
Caressing her warm brown skin
B/F# E
Then in a year or maybe not quite
B/F# E
We'll be sharing the same next of kin
[Chorus]
B/F#
I'd go the whole wide world, I'd go the whole wide world
E
Just to find her
B/F#
I'd go the whole wide world, I'd go the whole wide world
E
To find out where they hide her
B/F#
I'd go the whole wide world, I'd go the whole wide world
E
Just to find her
B/F#
I'd go the whole wide world, I'd go the whole wide world
E
To find out where they hide her
