Verse 

G               F          G     C      F 
When I was a young boy, my mama said to me 
G         C                   F 
There's only one girl in the world for you 
G                  C    F 
And she's probably in Tahiti 
C                        F 
Or Maybe she's in the Bahamas 
C                          F 
Where the Caribbean Sea is blue 
C                         F 
We've been in a tropical moonlight night 
C 
Cause nobody taught her 'bout you

F G          C 
I'd go the whole wide world, I'd go the whole wide world 
G       F 
Just to find her 
C 
I'd go the whole wide world, I'd go the whole wide world 
                        F 
To find out where they hide her 

Verse 

C                               F 
Why am I hanging around in the rain out here 
C                   F 
Trying to pick up a girl 
C                                      F 
Why are my eyes filling up with these lonely tears 
C                                F 
When there's girls all over the world 
        C                   F 
Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere 
C                       F 
Underneath the tropical sun 
C                 F 
Pining away in a heat wave there 
G       C              F 
Hoping that I won't be long 
             C                  F 
I should be lying on that sun soaked beach with her 
C              G          F 
Caressing her warm brown skin 
C                       F 
Then in a year or maybe not quite 
          C                            F 
We'll be sharing the same next of kin
