E I watch the waves go in and out Like some uncertain chore Cm I understand the habit as they Break upon the shore G# I keep this lonely vigil so My heart won't break no more E I'm waiting for Gilligan E The days turn into week And the weeks turn into years Cm And there's some that say I'm crazy When they see me sitting here G# Tell all who would commit me That I know what commitment is E I'm waiting for Gilligan Cm The short wave has been Broken down for years G# But I'm listening with much more Bb Than just my ears Bb I'm waiting for Gilligan E The Captain's kids are captains now And most have come and gone Cm On motor boats and sailing ships With cargoes of their own G# My fingers cross with every ship That makes the trip back home E I'm waiting for Gilligan E If practice makes for perfect Well, I think I've got it down Cm After thirty years of waiting For a man who's not around G# If faith and hope were made of gold Then I would wear that crown E I'm waiting for Gilligan Cm To look at me The years may seem unkind G# But there's just enough of me left Bb Not to mind Bb I'm waiting for Gilligan Cm I'm no prisoner to my passion E Any more than some of you Cm When I lay down I dream about E A love I know that's true Cm I know folks who laid side by side Gm For years and never knew G# That they were stranded Now, I want you to tell me Fm Somebody tell me Bb Who's on an island now? E I know he's out there somewhere And if he don't come home to me Cm Then I'll go out to meet him If they'd bury me at sea G# Then we will be together And I'll no longer be E Waiting for Gilligan Cm You tell Ginger, Mrs Howe And Maryann G# I'll always burn the candle Bb For my man E I'm waiting for Gilligan
