[Intro]
N.C.
Carry on my wayward son
N.C.
There'll be peace when you are done
N.C.
Lay your weary head to rest
N.C.
Don't you cry no more

[Verse 1]
A#m G# F# G#
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
A#m G# F# G#
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
D#m C# B B C#
I was soaring ever higher
D#m C# G#
But I flew too high
[drums join]
A#m G# F# G#
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
A#m G# F# G#
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
D#m C# B
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
D#m C# G#
I can hear them say
[Chorus]
A#m C# G# F#
Carry on my wayward son,
A#m C# G#
There'll be peace when you are done
A#m C# G# F#
Lay your weary head to rest,
F#
don't you cry no more

[Verse 2]
A#m G# F# G#
Masquerading as a man with a reason
A#m G# F# G#
My charade is the event of the season
D#m C# B B C#
And if I claim to be a wise man
D#m C# G#
It surely means that I don't know
A#m G# F# G#
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
A#m G# F# G#
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
D#m C# B B C#
I set a course for winds of fortune
D#m C# G#
But I hear the voices say
[Chorus]
A#m C# G# F#
Carry on my wayward son,
A#m C# G#
There'll be peace when you are done
A#m C# G# F#
Lay your weary head to rest,
F#
don't you cry no more

[Bridge]
A#m A#m
Carry on
G# F# F F# G# A# C#
You will always remember
A#m A#m
Carry on
G# F# F F# G# A# C#
Nothing equals the splendor
D#m C# B B C#
Now your life's no longer empty
D#m C# G#
Surely Heaven waits for you
[Chorus]
A#m C# G# F#
Carry on my wayward son,
A#m C# G#
There'll be peace when you are done
A#m C# G# F#
Lay your weary head to rest,
F#
don't you cry no more
