[Verse]
                      G                  
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
                      G                   
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
      C            Bb    
I was soaring ever higher
D       C        G   
■ But I flew too high
Am                            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      
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
                 C   
Don't you cry no more

[Verse]
Am           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       D   
And if I claim to be a wise man well
          C                  G    Am
It surely means that I don't know ■ 
     G             F      G       Am
On a stormy sea of moving emotion ■ 
       G                F           G     D
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean ■
        C                   Bb     
I set a course for winds of fortune
D       C               G  
■ But I hear the voices say


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

[Verse]
G            F           G        Am
Carry on you will always remember ■ 
G        F                  C        G D
Carry on nothing equals the splendor ■ ■
         C                Bb    D
Now your life's no longer empty ■
C                       G   Am
Surely heaven waits for you ■ 


[Chorus]
C           G       F   Am

There'll be peace when you are done
Am     C          G       F   
■  Lay your weary head to rest
          D             E7         
Don't you cry don't you cry no more
