Red Sunset

G
Red sunset
         C
dyes the sky
G
and casts a glow
         C
upon the sea.
G
When morning comes
       C   
I sail away.
D
When I return
            Em
be here for me.


[chorus]
Em       Am
Dry your eyes;

don't cry,
       D
don't cry.
Am
I can't bear to leave
D
without your smile.
           Em
Raise your head;

hold it high,
        D
hold it high.
     G
Walk tall,
      D
stand proud,
           G
don't be unhappy child.


G
Cold nights
         C
adrift, alone.
G
Every port of call
  C
a home.
G
When stormy weather
         C
threatens me,
D
I'll think of you
             Em
and sleep in peace.


[chorus]
Em       Am
Dry your eyes;

don't cry,
       D
don't cry.
Am
I can't bear to leave
D
without your smile.
           Em
Raise your head;

hold it high,
        D
hold it high.
     G
Walk tall,
      D
stand proud,
           G
don't be unhappy child.


G
Full moon
                C
shines o'er the sea.
G
The stars reveal
             C
your face to me.
G
The rain reminds me
        G
of your tears;
D
the memories rid me
      Em
of my fears.


[chorus]
Em       Am
Dry your eyes;

don't cry,
       D
don't cry.
Am
I can't bear to leave
D
without your smile.
           Em
Raise your head;

hold it high,
        D
hold it high.
     G
Walk tall,
      D
stand proud,
           G
don't be unhappy child.


G
Red sunset
         C
dyes the sky
G
and casts a glow
         C
upon the sea.
G
When morning comes
       C   
I sail away.
D
When I return
            Em
be here for me.
