[Intro]
Carry on my wayward son
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

[Verse 1]
(G#m) (F#) (E) (F#)
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
(G#m) (F#) (E) (F#)
Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion
(C#m) (B) (A) (B) (C#m) (B) (F#)
I was soaring ever higher but I flew too high
[Verse 2]
(G#m) (F#) (E) (F#)
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
(G#m) (F#) (E) (F#)
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
(C#m) (B) (A) (B)
I hear the voices when I'm dreamin'
(C#m) (B) (F#)
I can hear them say
[Chorus]

Carry on my wayward son

[Verse 3]
(G#m) (F#) (E) (F#)
Masquerading as a man with a reason
(G#m) (F#) (E) (F#)
My charade is the event of the season
(C#m) (B) (A) (B) (C#m)
If I claim to be a wise man it surely
(B) (F#)
Means that I don't know
[Verse 4]
(G#m) (F#) (E) (F#)
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
(G#m) (F#) (E) (F#)
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
(C#m) (B) (A) (B) (C#m)
Set a course for winds of fortune but
(B) (F#)
I hear the voices say
[Chorus]
(G#m) (B) (F#) (E) (G#m)
Carry on my wayward son
(B) (F#)
For there'll be peace when you're done
(G#m) (B) (F#) (E)
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

[Verse 5]
(G#m) (F#) (E) (F#)
Carry on you will always remember
(G#m) (F#) (E) (F#)
Carry on nothing equals the splendor
(C#m) (B) (A) (B)
Now your life's no longer empty
(C#m) (B) (F#)
Surely heaven waits for you
[Chorus]
(G#m) (B) (F#) (E) (G#m)
Carry on my wayward son
(B) (F#)
For there'll be peace when you're done

Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry

Don't you cry no more
