[Intro]
C/G F
[Verse]
C/GWhen I was a Fyoung boy, my C/Gmama said to Fme
There's C/Gonly one girl in the Fworld for you
And she's C/Gprobably in TahiFti
Or C/Gmaybe she's in the BaFhamas
Where the C/GCaribbean Sea is Fblue
C/GWe've been in a tropical Fmoonlight night
Cause C/Gnobody taught her 'bout Fyou
[Chorus]
I'd go the C/Gwhole wide world, I'd go the whole wide world
Just to fFind her
I'd go the C/Gwhole wide world, I'd go the whole wide world
To find out where they hFide her
[Verse]
C/GWhy am I hanging around in the Frain out here
C/GTrying to pick up a Fgirl
Why are my C/Geyes filling up with these Flonely tears
When there's C/Ggirls all over the Fworld
Is she C/Glying on a tropical Fbeach somewhere
C/GUnderneath the tropical Fsun
C/GPining away in a heFat wave there
C/GHoping that I won't be lFong
I should bC/Ge lying on that sun Fsoaked beach with her
CaC/Gressing her warm brown sFkin
C/GThen in a year or maybe Fnot quite
We'll be sC/Gharing the same next of kFin
[Chorus]
I'd go the C/Gwhole wide world, I'd go the whole wide world
Just to fFind her
I'd go the C/Gwhole wide world, I'd go the whole wide world
To find out where they hFide her
I'd go the C/Gwhole wide world, I'd go the whole wide world
Just to fFind her
I'd go the C/Gwhole wide world, I'd go the whole wide world
To find out where they hFide her
