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

[drums join]

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


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

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

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


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