[Verse]
F Bb
When I was a young boy
F Bb
My momma said to me
F Bb
"There's only one girl in this world for you
F Bb
And she probably lives in Tahiti"
[Pre-chorus]
F
But go the whole wide world, But go the whole wide world
Bb F Bb
Just to find her
[Verse]
F Bb
Or maybe she's in the Bahamas
F Bb
Where the Caribean Sea is blue
F Bb
Weeping in the tropical moonlit night
F Bb
Because nobody's talking about you
[Chorus]
F
I'd go the whole wide world. I'd Go the whole wide world
Bb
Just to find her
F
I'd go the whole wide world, I'd go the whole wide world
Bb
To find out where they hide her
F
I'd go the whole wide world, I'd Go the whole wide world
Bb
Just to find her, Go! Hey!

[Verse]
F Bb
Am I hanging around in the rain right here
F Bb
Trying to pick up a girl
F Bb
Why are my eyes Filling up with these lonely tears
F Bb
When there's girls all over the world
F Bb
Is she lying on some tropical beach somewhere
F Bb
Underneath a tropical sun
F Bb
Pining away in a heat wave there
F Bb
Hoping that I won't be long
F Bb
I should be lying on that sun swept beach with her
F Bb
Caressing her warm brown skin
F Bb
And then in a year or maybe not quite
F Bb
We'll be sharing the same next of kin
[Chorus]
F
I'd go the whole wide world. I’d go the whole wide world
Bb
Just to find her
F
I'd go the whole wide world, I'd Go the whole wide world
Bb
To find out where they hide her
F
I'd go the whole wide world, I’d Go the whole wide world
Bb
Just to find her. Yeah! Wooh!
