(I won a "Gong Show" in a bar In Sacramento with this song)


This song is really easy to play. Strum the melody with the words.

The C to C(Bm) to Am change really makes the song



       Am                       G             Am               G

Just sit right back and you'll hear tale, A tale of a fateful trip


       Am                 G            C          C(Bm)  C

 That started from this tropic port, a-board this tiny ship


      Am                       G             Am               G

     The mate was a mighty sailin' man, the skipper brave and sure



       Am           G                    C   C(Bm)  Am     C     C(Bm) Am

Five passengers set sail that day for a three hour tour, A three hour tour




VERSE 2

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





INTERLUDE
  Am                        G               Am            G
The ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle
       Am           G                Am                  G
With Gilligan, the Skipper Too, The Millionaire and his wife
     Am     G     Am                G         C       D          Am
