Carry on my wayward son
N.C.
There'll be peace when you are done

Lay your weary head to rest

Don't you cry no more

[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]

[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

There'll be peace when you are done
