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.
