Lyrics

Red sails in the (G7)sun set,

oh car ry my (Am7)loved one

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.

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.
