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