Gilligan's Island CAPO II: (this song is a dirge) --kidguitar


VERSE 1
Bm A Bm A
Just sit right back and you'll hear tale, A tale of a fateful trip
Bm A G A Bm
That started from this tropic port, a-board this tiny ship
Cm A# Cm A#
The mate was a mighty sailin' man, the skipper brave and sure
Cm A# G# A# Cm G# A# Cm
Five passengers set sail that day for a three hour tour, A three hour tour


VERSE 2
C#m B C#m B
The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed
C#m B A B C#m
If not for the courage of the fearless crew, the minnow would be lost
A B C#m
The Minnow would be lost


INTERLUDE
Dm C Dm C
The ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle
Dm C Dm C
With Gilligan, the Skipper Too, The Millionaire and his wife
Dm C Dm C D C D
The mo-vie star, The professor and Mary Ann, Here on Gilligan's Isle


VERSE 4
Bm A Bm A
So, this is a tale of our castaways, they're here for a long, long time
Bm A G A Bm
They'll have to make the best of things, it's an uphill climb
Cm A# Cm A#
The first mate and his skipper too will do their very best
Cm A# G# A# Cm
To make the others comfortable in the tropic island nest
C#m B C#m B
No phone - no lights, no motorcars, not a single lux - ury
C#m B A B C#m
Just like Robinson Crusoe, it's primitive as can be

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

3. Ever try singing the words to "Amazing Grace" to this tune?
Give it a try, it works eerily well.

It's kind of like watching "The Wizard of Oz" while listening to "Dark Side of the Moon"
