[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

Now your life's no longer empty

Surely Heaven waits for you

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
