F Bb
[VERSE]
FWhen I was a youBbng boy
FMy momma said to mBbe
"There's Fonly one girl in this woBbrld for you
And she Fprobably lives in TaBbhiti"
[CHORUS]
Fx2
I'd go the whole wide world, Go the whole wide world
Just to Bbfind her F Bb
[VERSE]
OFr maybe she's in the BahBbamas
Where the CaFribean Sea is Bbblue
WeFeping in the tropical mooBbnlit night
Because noFbody's talking about yBbou
[CHORUS]
Fx2
I'd go the whole wide world. Go the whole wide world
Bb Fx2.5
Just to find her, I'd go the whole wide world, Go the whole wide world
To find out where they hideBb her
Fx2
I'd go the whole wide world, Go the whole wide world
Just to Bbfind her

[VERSE]
FAm I hanging around in tBbhe rain right here
TFrying to pick up a Bbgirl
Why are my Feyes Filling up with theseBb lonely tears
When there'sF girls all over the woBbrld
Is she lyiFng on some tropical beBbach somewhere
UFnderneath a tropical Bbsun
FPining away in a hBbeat wave there
FHoping that I won't be lBbong
I should be lFying on that sun swept bBbeach with her
CFaressing her warmBb brown skin
And tFhen in a year or Bbmaybe not quite
We'Fll be sharing the same neBbxt of kin
[CHORUS]
Fx2
I'd go the whole wide world, Go the whole wide world
Bb Fx2.5
Just to find her, I'd go the whole wide world, Go the whole wide world
To find out where they hideBb her
Fx2
I'd go the whole wide world, Go the whole wide world
Just to Bbfind her, GO!
