"The Ballad of Gilligan's Island" by George Wyle and Sherwood Shwartz

Just [Dm]sit right back and you'll [C] hear a tale
A [Dm] tale of a fateful [C] trip
That [Dm] started from this [C] tropic port,
A-[Bb]-board this [C] tiny [Dm] ship

The [Dm] mate was a mighty [C] sailin' man,
The [Dm] skipper brave and [C] sure,
Five [Dm]passengers set [C]sail that day
For a [Bb]three-[C]hour [Dm]tour
A [Bb]three-[C]hour [Dm]tour

The [Em] weather started [D]getting rough,
The [Em] tiny ship was [D] tossed
If [Em] not for the courage of the [D] fearless crew,
The [C] Minnow [D] would be [Em] lost,
The [C] Minnow [D] would be [Em]lost

The [Fm]ship's aground of the [Eb]shore
Of this un [Fm]charted desert [Eb] isle
With [Fm]Gilligan...
The [Eb]Skipper, too...
The [Fm] Millionaire...
And his [Eb] wife...
The [Fm]movie [Eb]star...
The [Fm]professor [Eb] and [Fm] Mary-[Eb] Ann
[Fm]Here on [Eb]Gilligan's [Fm]Isle!
