D5   D5            D5   G5       G5         D5  C5  A5 
Red sails in the sunset,    way out on the sea, 
     B5     A5       E5 A5       E5        D5  E5  A5 
Oh, carry my loved one        home safely to me. 
 

D5   D5            D5      G5     G5             D5  C5  A5 
She sailed at the dawning,   all day I've been blue;  
      B5       A5    E5 A5      E5         D5   G5  D5 
Red sails in the sunset,      I'm trusting in you. 
  
Bridge: 
G5      G5            D5 
Swift wings you must borrow;  
A5    A5  A5        D5   D5 
Make straight for the shore.  
G5     G5         D5       B5 
   We marry tomorrow, 
     E5       E5        A5  A5 
And she goes sailing no more. 
  

D5  D5            D5    G5       G5            D5   C5  A5 
Red sails in the sunset,   way out on the sea,  
    B5    A5           E5  A5       E5         D5       
Oh carry my loved one        home safely to me.
