Verse 1
[Em]Once I [D]rose above the [C]noise and [D]confusion
[Em]Just to [D]get a glimpse [C]beyond this [D]illusion
[Am]I was [G]soaring ever [F][F]higher[G]
[Am]But I [G]flew too [D]high
[Em]Though my [D]eyes could see I [C]still was a [D]blind man
[Em]Though my [D]mind could think I [C]still was a [D]mad man
[Am]I hear the [G]voices when I'm [F][F]dreaming[G]
[Am]I can [G]hear them [D]say
Chorus
[Em]Carry [G]on my [D]wayward [C]son
[Em]There'll be [G]peace when [D]you are done
[Em]Lay your [G]weary [D]head to [C]rest
N.C.
Don't you cry no more
Verse 2
[Em][D]Masquerading as a [C]man with a [D]reason
[Em]My [D]charade is the [C]event of the [D]season
[Am]And if I [G]claim to be a [F]wise [F]man[G]
[Am]It surely [G]means that I don't [D]know
[Em]On a [D]stormy sea of [C]moving [D]emotion
[Em]Tossed [D]about, I'm like a [C]ship on the [D]ocean
[Am]I set a [G]course for winds of [F][F]fortune[G]
[Am]But I [G]hear the voices [D]say
Chorus
[Em]Carry [G]on my [D]wayward [C]son
[Em]There'll be [G]peace when [D]you are done
[Em]Lay your [G]weary [D]head to [C]rest
N.C.
Don't you cry no more
(Instrumental)
Bridge
[Em] Carry on
You will [D]always [C]remember
[Em] Carry on
Nothing [D]equals the [C]splendor
[Am]Now your [G]life's no longer [F]empty
[Am]Surely [G]Heaven waits for [D]you
Chorus
[Em]Carry [G]on my [D]wayward [C]son
[Em]There'll be [G]peace when [D]you are done
[Em]Lay your [G]weary [D]head to [C]rest
Don't you cry {vocal echo: Don't you cry} no [Bm7]more
