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!
