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

[drums join]

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


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

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

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


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

C#m C#m

Surely Heaven waits for you

C#m    E     B       A
Carry on my wayward son,
C#m          E          B
There'll be peace when you are done
C#m       E     B       A
Lay your weary head to rest,
A
don't you cry no more
