[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 [Interlude] Am Em7 Am Em7 Am G F [Verse]
Am     G              F            G
Once I rose above the noise and confusion

Am      G             F             G
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion

Dm    C            Bb    C
I was soaring ever higher

Dm    C        G
But I flew too high

Am        G                F           G
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man

Am        G                  F           G
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man

Dm         C               Bb       C
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming

Dm    C         G
I can hear them say
[Chorus]
Am    C     G       F
Carry on my wayward son

Am          C          G
There'll be peace when you are done

Am       C     G
Lay your weary head to rest

F
Don't you cry no more
[Interlude] Am [Verse 2]
Am    G           F          G
Masquerading as a man with a reason

Am    G           F            G
My charade is the event of the season

Dm       C             Bb       C
And if I claim to be a wise man

Dm        C                  G
It surely means that I don't know

Am   G             F       G
On a stormy sea of moving emotion

Am     G                F           G
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean

Dm    C                 Bb       C
I set sail for winds of fortune

Dm    C               G
But I hear the voices say
[Chorus 2]
Am    C     G       F
Carry on my wayward son

Am          C          G
There'll be peace when you are done

Am       C     G
Lay your weary head to rest

F
Don't you cry no more
[Solo] Am Em7 Am Em7 Am [Bridge]
Am
Carry on

         F
You will always remember

Am
Carry on

        F
Nothing equals the splendor

Dm       C                Bb    C
Now your life's no longer empty

Dm     C                G
Surely heaven waits for you
[Chorus 3]
Am    C     G       F
Carry on my wayward son

Am          C          G
There'll be peace when you are done

Am       C     G
Lay your weary head to rest

F
Don't you cry no more
[Outro] Em7 F#m Em7 F#m Am G F
