When I was a young boy my mama said to me, 
         E                    A 
"There's only one girl in the world for you, 
    E                   A 
She probably lives in Tahiti." 
           E 
I'd go the whole wide world,  
                                    A 
I'd go the whole wide world just to find her. 


   E                  A                 E               A 
Or maybe she's in the Bahamas where the Caribean Sea is blue, 
E                       A                    E                      A

I'd go the whole wide world,  
                                    A 
I'd go the whole wide world just to find her. 
           E 
I'd go the whole wide world,  
                                                   A 
I'd go the whole wide world to find out where they hide her. 
           E 
I'd go the whole wide world,  
                                    A 
I'd go the whole wide world just to find her.
