1. When I was a young boy my mumy said to me,

                 E                             A                            

    thereŽs only one girl in the world for you,

                    E                          A

    but she probably lives in Tahiti.

 

                     E                                                                               A

IŽd go the whole wide world, IŽd go the whole wide world, just to find her,

2. Or maybe sheŽs in the Bahamas where the Caribbean sea is blue,

       E                                A                          

    weeping in a tropical moonlit night,

                    E                                   A

    because nobodyŽs told her ’bout you.

                                

                     E                                                                               A

IŽd go the whole wide world, IŽd go the whole wide world, just to find her,

                    E                                                    

IŽd go the whole wide world, IŽd go the whole wide world,

                                     A         

to find out where they hide her.    

                     E                                                                               A

IŽd go the whole wide world, IŽd go the whole wide world, just to find her,

3. Why am I hanging around in the rain out here trying to pick up a girl,

                        E                                      A                                     

    why are my eyes filling up with these lonely tears,

                           E                         A

    when thereŽs girls all over the world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                E                            A                       

4. Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere,

      E                                   A

    underneath the tropical sun,

      E                         A                      E                                 A       

    pining away in a heatwave there hoping that I wonŽt be long.

 

                       E                                    A                  

5. I should be lying on a sun-soaked beach with her,

         E                                      A

    caressing her warm brown skin,             

              E                          A                     

    and then  in a year or maybe not quite

                     E                                   A

    weŽll be sharing the same next of kin.

 

                     E                                                                               A

IŽd go the whole wide world, IŽd go the whole wide world, just to find her,

                    E                                                    

IŽd go the whole wide world, IŽd go the whole wide world,

                                     A         

to find out where they hide her.    

                     E                                                                               A

IŽd go the whole wide world, IŽd go the whole wide world, just to find her,

                    E                                                    

IŽd go the whole wide world, IŽd go the whole wide world,

                                     A         

to find out where they hide her.    

 

       E          - A - E - A             - E - A - E - A  ….

    Yeah !
