Lyrics

Red sails in the (G7)sun set,

way (Cm6)out on the (G)sea,

oh car ry my (Am7)loved one

home (D7)safe ly to (G)me.

He sailed at the (G7)dawn ing;

all (Cm6)day Iโ€™ve been (G)blue;

red sails in the (Am7)sun set,

Iโ€™m (D7)trust ing in (G)you.

(C)Swift

(Cm6)wings you must (G)bor row,

make straight for the (G)shore;

(C)we

(Cm6)mar ry to (G)mor row

and he goes sail ing no (D9)more.

Red sails in the (G7)sun set,

way (Cm6)out on the (G)sea,

oh car ry my (Am7)loved one

home (D7)safe ly to (Am7)me.
