Whole 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.

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.

I'd go the whole wide world,

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)
so that the strums don't ring for a full quarter note.
