ARTIST: Sherwood Schwartz and G. Wyle TITLE: Gilligan's Island (The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle) Lyrics and Chords [Television Theme Song] Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale A tale of a fateful trip That started from this tropic port Aboard this tiny ship / C#m B / / / AB C#m / (/) The Mate was a mighty sailor man The Skipper brave and sure Five passengers set sail that day For a three-hour tour, a three-hour tour / +1 / The weather started getting rough The tiny ship was tossed If not for the courage of the fearless crew The Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost / +1 / The ship's aground on the shore of this Uncharted desert isle With Gilligan, the Skipper too A millionaire, and his wife A movie star The Professor and Mary Ann Here on Gilligan's Isle / Fm Eb / / Fm - Eb - / / Fm Eb / / Fm Eb Fm - / So this is the tale of our castaways They're here for a long, long time They'll have to make the best of things It's an uphill climb / [Back to C#m] / The First Mate and his Skipper, too Will do their very best To make the others comfortable In their tropic island nest / +1 / No phones, no lights, no motor cars Not a single luxury Like Robinson Ca-rusoe It's primitive as can be / +1 / So join us here each week, my friends You're sure to get a smile From seven stranded castaways Here on Gilligan's Isle / +1 /
