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

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

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