[Chorus]
Em G D C Em G D
Carry on my wayward son, There'll be peace when you are done
Em G D C C
Lay your weary head to rest, don't you cry no more
[Verse 1]
Em D C D
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Em D C D
Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion
Am G F G Am G D
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Em D C D
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Em D C D
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
Am G D Am G D
I hear the voices when I'm dreamin', I can hear them say
[Chorus]
Em G D C Em G D
Carry on my wayward son, There'll be peace when you are done
Em G D C C
Lay your weary head to rest, don't you cry no more
[Verse 2]
Em D C D
Masquerading as a man with a reason
Em D C D
My charade is the event of the season
Am G F
And if I claim to be a wise man
Am G D
It surely means that I don't know
Em D C D
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Em D C D
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
Em D C Am G D
I set a course for winds of fortune, but I hear the voices say
[Chorus]
Em G D C Em G D
Carry on my wayward son, There'll be peace when you are done
Em G D C C
Lay your weary head to rest, don't you cry no more
[Verse 3]
Em D C D
Carry on, you will always remember
Em D C D
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Em D C D
Now your life's no longer empty
Am G D
Surely heaven waits for you
[Ending Chorus]
Em G D C Em G D
Carry on my wayward son, There'll be peace when you are done
Em G D C C
Lay your weary head to rest, don't you cry no more
