[Verse 1]
       G                      D
't Was down where fisher folk gathered
G                   F
I wandered far from the throng
G                     F7/C
I heard a fisher girl singin'
D
 And this refrain was her song:

[Chorus]
G
 Red sails in the sunset
C                G
  Way out on the sea
D7           Am
 Oh carry my loved one
D7                E7
   Home safely to me

[Verse 2]
G
 He sailed at the dawning
C                  G
 All day I've been blue
D7                Am7 D7
 Red sails in the sun-set
                G7
I'm trusting in you

[Verse 3]
C     Cm             G
Swift wings you must borrow
D7                     E     G
 Make straight for the shore
C  Cm      G
We marry tomorrow
A7                      D7
 And he goes sailing no more

[Chorus]
G
 Red sails in the sunset
C                G
  Way out on the sea
D7  Dm       D7
 Oh carry my loved one
               G
Home safely to me
