G D
't Was down where fisher folk gathered
G F
I wandered far from the throng

I heard a fisher girl singin'

And this refrain was her song:
[Chorus]

Red sails in the sunset

Way out on the sea
D7 Am
Oh carry my loved one
D7 E7
Home safely to me

All day I've been blue

Red sails in the sun-set

I'm trusting in you

Way out on the sea

Oh carry my loved one
