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

EmDCD
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
EmDCD
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
AmGFFG
I was soaring ever higher
AmGD
But I flew too high
EmDCD
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
EmDCD
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
AmGFFG
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
AmGD
I can hear them say
EmGDC
Carry on my wayward son
EmGD
There'll be peace when you are done

Lay your weary head to rest

EmDCD
Masquerading as a man with a reason
EmDCD
My charade is the event of the season
AmGFFG
And if I claim to be a wise man
AmGD
It surely means that I don't know
EmDCD
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
EmDCD
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
AmGFFG
I set sail for winds of fortune
AmGD
But I hear the voices say
EmGDC
Carry on my wayward son

There'll be peace when you are done
