I'd go the whole wide world (Ukulele/Hula version)

I suppose everybody knows the Proclaimers version of this song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1b1mxyEGvQ

But it originally was a punk classic from Wreckless Eric. It is a two chord song Just E and A

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSjwl8lHEVE


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)

Hee hee. Great job, Ging Gang. I only knew Eric's version (which I had a crack at a while back), but this is a joy to watch and listen to. Regards, Big Huge.
