xWhole Wide World by The Proclaimers E A E A E A E A When I was a young boy, mama she said to me, E A "There's only one girl in the world for you, E A But she probably lives in Tahiti." E I'd go the whole wide world, A E 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 Caribbean Sea is blue, E A E A Weeping away in a tropical moonlight night, because nobody's told about you. E 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. (play chords twice) E A E A Why I’m hanging around in the rain out here, trying to pick up a girl E A Why are my eye’s filling up with these lonely tears, when there's E A girl’s all over the world. E A E Well is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere, underneath the tropical A E A E A sun? Pining away in a heat wave there, hoping that I won’t be long? E A E I should be lying on that sun soaked beach with her caressing her soft A E A E A brown skin And then in a year or maybe not quiet we'll be sharing E A the same next of kin E 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. 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 (Repeated to fade)
