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

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

Bm Bm
Carry on
A G F# G A B D
You will always remember
Bm Bm
Carry on

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