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

[drums join]

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


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

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

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


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

C        A#    A A# C D F
You will always remember

C        A#      A A# C D F
Nothing  equals the splendor

Gm       F                D#     D# F
Now your life's no longer empty
Gm     F                C
Surely Heaven waits for you

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