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
