Gilligan's Island Theme Song

* This song is a challenge with 3 key changes


Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
-3   -1   -3   -3   -3   -3     3   2  1

A tale of a fateful trip
1  -1  -3 -3  -3 -3  3

That started from this tropic port
-3   -1  -3   -3   -3   3  4   4

Aboard this tiny ship
 3 -2   -2  2  1  -1


The mate was a mighty sailing man
-1   -1* -3* -3*-3*-3* 3* 2*   1*

The skipper brave and sure
 1* -1* -3*  -3*  -3*  3*

Five passengers set sail that day
 3* -1* -3* -3* -3*  3*    4*  4*

On a three hour tour   A three hour tour
3* 3* -2*  2* 1* -1*  -1* -2*  2* 1* -1*


The weather started getting rough
-1   2  -4  -4  -4   -3 -2*  -1

The tiny ship was tossed
-1 -4 -4  -4  -4   -3

If not for the courage of the fearless crew
-4  2  -4  -4   -4 -4  -4  -4  -3  -5   -5

The Minnow would be lost  The Minnow would be lost
-3   3  3   -2*  -1  2     2   3  3   -2*  -1  2


The ship set ground on the shore of this

Uncharted desert isle
-1* -2 4   4  4  -3*

With Gilligan,  The Skipper too

A millionaire,  And his wife

A movie star,  The Professor and Mary Ann

Here on Gilligan's Isle

[Ending Lyrics]

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

The first mate and his Skipper too
Will do their very best
To make the others comfortable
In their tropic island nest

No phone, no lights, no motor car
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Crusoe
It's primitive as can be

So join us here each week my friend
You're sure to get a smile
From seven stranded castaways
Here on Gilligan's Isle
