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

[drums join]

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


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

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

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


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

Nothing  equals the splendor

Now your life's no longer empty

Surely Heaven waits for you


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