[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]
Gm     F              D#         F
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Gm      F             D#           F
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
Cm    A#            G#        G# A#
I was soaring ever higher
Cm    A#        F
But I flew too high

[drums join]

Gm        F                D#           F
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Gm        F                D#           F
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
Cm         A#               G#
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
Cm    A#         F
I can hear them say


[Chorus]
Gm    A#     F       D#
Carry on my wayward son,
Gm          A#          F
There'll be peace when you are done
Gm       A#     F       D#
Lay your weary head to rest,
D#
don't you cry no more

[Verse 2]
Gm    F           D#          F
Masquerading as a man with a reason
Gm    F           D#            F
My charade is the event of the season
Cm       A#             G#           G# A#
And if I claim to be a wise man
Cm        A#                  F
It surely means that I don't know

Gm   F             D#      F
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Gm     F                D#           F
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
Cm    A#                     G#         G# A#
I set a course for winds of fortune
Cm    A#               F
But I hear the voices say


[Chorus]
Gm    A#     F       D#
Carry on my wayward son,
Gm          A#          F
There'll be peace when you are done
Gm       A#     F       D#
Lay your weary head to rest,
D#
don't you cry no more

You will always remember
Gm Gm
Carry on
F        D#      D D# F G A#
Nothing  equals the splendor

Cm       A#                G#     G# A#
Now your life's no longer empty
Cm     A#                F
Surely Heaven waits for you

Gm          A#          F
There'll be peace when you are done

Lay your weary head to rest,
D#
don't you cry no more
