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