   G
I feel roughed up, feel a bit frightened
Nearly pin it down some time
F
Red sail action wake up in the wrong town
Boy, I really get around
D                           E
Thunder ocean, thunder ocean
                                  G
Red sails take me, make me sail along

Chorus:
D
Red sails and a mast so tall
E
Red sails, red sails

 G
Do you remember we another person
Green and black and red and so scared
     F
Graffiti on the wall keep us all in tune
Bringing us all back home

Chorus:
D
Red sails, thunder ocean
                                    E
Red sails, sailor can't dance like you (woooh!)
G
Red sail, red sail action
Red sail, some reaction

G
Action boy seen living under neon
Struggle with a foreign tongue
F
Red sails make him strong
Action make him sail along
D
Life stands still and stares

     A
The Hinterland, the Hinterland
We're gonna sail to the Hinterland
          D
And it's far far far far, far far far away
It's a far far, far far far, da da da, da da da
G
1, 2, 3, 4
F
Oooooooh
