_ 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

_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] Once I rose above [F] the noise and [Em]
confusion
[Am] _ [Em] Just to get a [F] glimpse beyond [C] this illusion
[G] I was soaring [A#] ever higher
_ [C] _ _ [Dm] But I flew too [G]
high
_ _ [Am] Though [Em] my eyes could see [F] I still was [G] a blind [Am] man
Though my mind [F] could think I still was a mad [Dm] man
I hear [C] the voices when [A#] I'm dreaming
_ _ [Dm] I [C] can hear [G] them _ say
[Am] _ [C] Carry on my [G]
wayward [F] son
[Am] _ There'll be [G] peace when you are done
[A] Lay [C] your weary [G] head to [F] _ rest
Don't you [C] cry no more
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [G] Charading [F] as a man [G] with a [Am] reason
[G] My charade is [F] the event [G] of the [Dm] season
And [C] if I claim to [A#] be a wise man
[Dm] Well, it [C] surely means that [G] I don't _ know
[Am] _
[Em] On a stormy [F] sea of [G] moving [Am] emotion
[Em] Tossed about I'm [F] like a ship [G] on the [Dm] ocean
A [C] set of course for [A#] winds of fortune
_ [Dm] _
[C] But I hear the [G] voices _ say
[A] _
[C] Carry on [G] my [F] wayward son
[A] _
[C] There'll be peace [G] when you are done
