C                      F                C
Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea
             G7      G                C
Oh, carry my love one, home safely to me
                        F                   C
He sailed at the dawning, all day I ve been blue
                 G7    G                 C
Red sails in the sunset, I m trusting in you
 
      F             C      F                      C
Swift wings we must borrow, make straight for the shore
F          C     D7                      G7
We marry tomorrow, and you go sailing no more
C                      F                C
Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea
             G7      G                C
Oh, carry my love one, home safely to me
 
                       F                C
Red sails at the sunset, way out on the sea
             G7      G                C
Oh, carry my love one, home safely to me
