E            A
When I was a young boy
   E              A
My mother said to me
         E                    A
"There's only one girl in the world for you
        E                   A
And she probably lives in Tahiti."

[Chorus]
                 E
I'd go the whole wide world
           E                        A          E     A
I'd go the whole wide world just to find her

[Verse 2]
   E                  A
Or maybe she's in the Bahamas
          E               A
Where the Caribean Sea is blue
E                      A
Weeping under tropical moonlit night
      E                  A
Cause nobody talks about you

[Chorus]
           E
I'd go the whole wide world
           E                        A
I'd go the whole wide world just to find her
           E
I'd go the whole wide world
           E
I'd go the whole wide world
                       A
To find out where they hide her
           E
I'd go the whole wide world
           E                        A
I'd go the whole wide world just to find her

[Verse 3]
         E                     A
Why am I hanging around in the rain out here
E                   A
Trying to pick up a girl
           E                          A
Why are my eyes filling up with these lonely tears
             E                  A
When there's girls all over the world
       E                   A
Is she lying on a tropical moonlit beach
     E                A
Underneath a tropical sun
E                A
Pining away in a heatwave there
       E               A
Hoping that I won't be long

[Chorus]
           E
I'd go the whole wide world
           E                        A
I'd go the whole wide world just to find her
           E
I'd go the whole wide world
           E
I'd go the whole wide world
                       A
To find out where they hide her
           E
I'd go the whole wide world
           E                        A
I'd go the whole wide world just to find her
           E
I'd go the whole wide world
           E
I'd go the whole wide world
                       A
To find out where they hide her
