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