[Verse]
       G              F         G         Am
Once I rose above the noise and confusion ■ 
        G             F           G        D
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion ■
      C            Bb     C
I was soaring ever higher ■
               G   
But I flew too high
Am           G                F           G     Am 
■  Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
          G                  F           G   D  
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
           C               Bb       C
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming ■
D   C             G  
■ I can hear them say


[Chorus]
Am C           G       F   Am
■  Carry on my wayward son ■ 
            C          G           
There'll be peace when you are done
Am          C     G       F   
■  Lay your weary head to rest
          D   C      
Don't you cry no more

[Verse]
G                 F          G      Am
Masquerading as a man with a reason ■ 
   G              F            G      D
My charade is the event of the season ■
         C             Bb   C       
And if I claim to be a wise man well
D           C                  G   
■ It surely means that I don't know
Am      G             F      G       Am
■  On a stormy sea of moving emotion ■ 
G                       F           D    
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
        C                   Bb      C
I set a course for winds of fortune ■
D       C               G  
■ But I hear the voices 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       F   
■  Lay your weary head to rest
          F          
Don't you cry no more

No Carry on you will always remember ■ 
              F             G       
Carry on none can equal the splendor
         C                Bb    D
Now your life's no longer empty ■
C                   G   Am 
Surely heaven waits for you
C           G       F   Am
Carry on my wayward son ■ 
            C          G           
There'll be peace when you are done
Am          C     G       F   
■  Lay your weary head to rest
          Am 
Don't you cry
Am     
No more
