 D   DM7            D7   G    Gm7         D  Cdim A 
 Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea,
 
      Bm7-5     A       Em7 A     Em7        D E7-5 A7 
 Oh, carry my loved one   home safely to me.
 
 D   DM7            D7      G    Gm7             D  Cdim A 
 She sailed at the dawning,  all day I've been blue;
 
       Bm7-5       A    Em7 A7    Em7         D  Gdim D 
 Red sails in the sunset,  I'm trusting in you.
 
 Bridge:
 
 G      G/F#            D    
 Swift wings you must borrow;
 
 A7    A7sus4  A7        D   DM7 
 Make straight for the shore.
 
 G   G/F#        D  Bm7 
  We marry tomorrow,
 
      Em7       E7        A7  A7+5 
 And she goes sailing no more.
 
 D  DM7            D7    G     Gm7       D   Cdim A 
 Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea,
 
     Bm7-5    A7       Em7  A7       Em7  D 
 Oh carry my loved one  home safely to me.
