If [Am] not for the courage of the [G] fearless crew, The [F] Minnow [G] would be [Am] lost, the [F] Minnow [G] would be [Am] lost. {c: } [Am] The ship's aground on the [G] shore of this Un-[Am]charted desert [G] isle, With [Am] Gilligan the [G] Skipper too The [Am] Millionaire and his [G] wife The [Am] movie [G] star… The [Am] Professor and [G] Mary-Ann [F] here on [G] Gilligan's [Am] Isle! {c: } [Am] So this is the tale of our [G] castaways, They're [Am] here for a long, long [G] time.

Like [Am] Robinson Cru-[G]soe, It's [F] primitive [G] as can [Am] be. {c: } [Am] So join us here each [G] week my friend, You're [Am] sure to get a [G] smile.
