     Am                        G             
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,  
  Am                G      
A tale of a fateful trip,  
     Am                G             
That started from this tropic port,  
  F          G    Am     
A-board this tiny ship.  
   
Am                    G             
The mate was a mighty sailin' man,  
    Am                G      
The skipper brave and sure,  
     Am             G              
Five passengers set sail that day  
      F     G    Am      F     G    Am     
For a three hour tour, a three hour tour.  
   
Am                  G               
The weather started getting rough,  
    Am            G        
The tiny ship was tossed.  
   Am                         G               
If not for the courage of the fearless crew,  
    F      G        Am        F      G        Am     
The Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost.  
   
Am                        G              
The ship's aground on the shore of this  
   Am             G      
Un-charted desert isle,  
     Am           G            
With Gilligan the Skipper too  
    Am                  G     
The Millionaire and his wife  
    Am    G      
The movie star…  
    Am            G        F       G          Am     
The Professor and Mary-Ann here on Gilligan's Isle!  
   
Am                         G           
So this is the tale of our castaways,  
        Am                    G      
They're here for a long, long time.  
        Am               G                
They'll have to make the best of things,  
F       G      Am      
It's an uphill climb.  
   
Am                     G             
The first mate and his skipper too,  
     Am            G      
Will do their very best,  
   Am              G             
To make the others comfortable,  
       F      G      Am     
In the tropic island nest.  
   
Am                       G            
No phones, no lights, no motor cars,  
      Am          G    
Not a single luxu-ry.  
     Am           G     
Like Robinson Cru-soe,  
     F         G      Am   
It's primitive as can be.  
   
Am                   G                
So join us here each week my friend,  
       Am            G       
You're sure to get a smile.  
     Am             G           
From seven stranded castaways,  
F       G          Am    F       G          Am     
Here on Gilligan's Isle, Here on Gilligan's Isle.  
F       G          Am     Am 
Here on Gilligan's Isle!!
