Tom: E5
(N.C.)
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

E5 D5 C5 D5
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
E5 D5 C5 D5
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
A5 G5 F5 F5 G5
I was soaring ever higher
A5 G5 D5
But I flew too high
E5 D5 C5 D5
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
E5 D5 C5 D5
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
A5 G5 F5 F5 G5
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
A5 G5 D5
I can hear them say
E5 G5 D5 C5
Carry on my wayward son
E5 G5 D5
There'll be peace when you are done
E5 G5 D5 C5
Lay your weary head to rest
(N/C/)
Don't you cry no more

E5 D5 C5 D5
Masquerading as a man with a reason
E5 D5 C5 D5
My charade is the event of the season
A5 G5 F5 F5 G5
And if I claim to be a wise man
A5 G5 D5
It surely means that I don't know
E5 D5 C5 D5
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
E5 D5 C5 D5
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
A5 G5 F5 F5 G5
I set sail for winds of fortune
A5 G5 D5
But I hear the voices say
E5 G5 D5 C5
Carry on my wayward son
E5 G5 D5
There'll be peace when you are done
E5 G5 D5 C5
Lay your weary head to rest
(N/C/)
Don't you cry no more
{riff}
E5 (mute)
Carry on
D5 C5
You will always remember
E5 (mute)
Carry on
D5 C5
Nothing equals the splendor
A5 G5 F5
Now your life's no longer empty
A5 G5 D5
Surely Heaven waits for you
E5 G5 D5 C5
Carry on my wayward son
E5 G5 D5
There'll be peace when you are done
E5 G5 D5 C5
Lay your weary head to rest
(N/C/) B5
Don't you cry {vocal echo: Don't you cry} no more
