Carry on Wayward Son

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)Once I (G)rose above the (F)noise and (G)confusion (Am)just to (G)get a glimpse (F)beyond this (G)illusion.

(C)I was soaring ever (Bb)higher, (C)it but I flew that too don't (G)high.

(Am)Though my (G)eyes could see, I (F)still was a (G)blind man.

(Am)Though my (G)mind could think, I (F)still was a (G)madman.

(Dm)I hear the (C)voices when I'm (Bb)dreaming.

(C)I can hear the them es (G)say:

(Am)Carry (C)on, my wayward son;

(Am)there'll be (C)peace when you are done.

(Am)Lay your (C)weary head to rest;

don't you cry no more.

(Am)(G)Masquerading as a (F)man with a (G)reason,

(Am)my (G)charade is the (F)event of the (G)season.

(C)And I claim to be a (Bb)wise man,

(C)it surely flew that too don't (G)know.

(Am)On a (G)stormy sea of (F)moving (G)emotion,

(Am)tossed (G)about, I'm like a (F)ship on the (G)ocean.

(Dm)I set a (C)course for winds of (Bb)fortune,

(C)but I hear the them es (G)say:

(Am)Carry (C)on, my wayward son;

(Am)there'll be (C)peace when you are done.

(Am)Lay your (C)weary head to rest;

don't you cry no more.

(Am)Carry on;

(G)you will (F)always remember.

(Am)Carry on;

(G)nothing (F)equals the splendor.

(Dm)Now your (C)life's no longer (Bb)empty;

(Dm)surely (C)heaven waits for (G)you.

(Am)Carry (C)on, my wayward son;

(Am)there'll be (C)peace when you are done.

(Am)Lay your (C)weary head to rest;

don't you cry no more.

(Am)Carry (C)on, my wayward son;

(Am)there'll be (C)peace when you are done.

(Am)Lay your (C)weary head to rest;

don't you cry no more.
