Carry on my wayward son, There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest, Don't you cry no more

Em D C D
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Em D C D
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
Am G F F G
I was soaring ever higher
Am G D
But I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say
Em G D C Em G D
Carry on my wayward son, There'll be peace when you are done
Em. G D C N.C.
Lay your weary head to rest. Don't you cry no more

Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man
It surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say
Carry on my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry {vocal echo: Don't you cry} no more
Instrumental.. riffing.. then organ.. then riffing.. then guitar... then this:

Em N.C. D C
Carry on , You will always remember
Carry on. Nothing equals the splendor
Am G F
Now your life's no longer empty
Am G D
Surely Heaven waits for you
Carry on my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry {vocal echo: Don't you cry} no more
