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

MIm RE DO RE
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
MIm RE DO RE
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
LAm SOL FA FA SOL
I was soaring ever higher
LAm SOL RE
But I flew too high
MIm RE DO RE
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
MIm RE DO RE
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
LAm SOL FA FA SOL
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
LAm SOL RE
I can hear them say
MIm SOL RE DO
Carry on my wayward son
MIm SOL RE
There'll be peace when you are done
MIm SOL RE DO
Lay your weary head to rest
(N.C.)
Don't you cry no more
{riff}
MIm RE DO RE
Masquerading as a man with a reason
MIm RE DO RE
My charade is the event of the season
LAm SOL FA FA SOL
And if I claim to be a wise man
LAm SOL RE
It surely means that I don't know
MIm RE DO RE
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
MIm RE DO RE
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
LAm SOL FA FA SOL
I set sail for winds of fortune
LAm SOL RE
But I hear the voices say
MIm SOL RE DO
Carry on my wayward son
MIm SOL RE
There'll be peace when you are done
MIm SOL RE DO
Lay your weary head to rest
(N.C.)
Don't you cry no more
{riff}
Em (mute)
Carry on
RE DO
You will always remember
Em (mute)
Carry on
RE DO
Nothing equals the splendor
LAm SOL FA
Now your life's no longer empty
LAm SOL RE
Surely Heaven waits for you
MIm SOL RE DO
Carry on my wayward son
MIm SOL RE
There'll be peace when you are done
MIm SOL RE DO
Lay your weary head to rest
(N.C.) Bm7
Don't you cry {vocal echo: Don't you cry} no more
