C   Em           Gm     F    Fm          C
Red sails in the sunset; way out on the sea.
A7           Dm7       G     G7         C  G
Oh, carry my loved one, home safely to me.

She sailed at the dawning, all day I've been blue,
Red sails in the sunset, I'm trusting in you.

F      Dm7           C
Swift wings we must borrow,
F      G                C   C7
make straight for the shore.
F   Dm7     C
We marry tomorrow,
A7   D         D7         G
and you'll go sailing no more.

Red sails in the sunset; way out on the sea,
Oh, carry my loved one, home safely to me.

F   Dm7     C
We marry tomorrow,
A7    D        D7         G
and she'll go sailing no more.

Red sails in the sunset; way out on the sea,
Oh, carry my loved one, home safely to me.
