Carry On Wayward Son [Em] - Kansas
[Acappela]
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
[Verse 1]
Em D C D
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Em D C D
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
Am G F
I was soaring ever higher (F) (G)
Am G D
But I flew too high
Em D C D
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Em D C D
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
Am G F
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming (F) (G)
Am G D
I can hear them say
|[Chorus]
|Em G D C
| Carry on my wayward son
|Em G D
| There'll be peace when you are done
|Em G D C
| Lay your weary head to rest
|NC
| Don't you cry no more
[Verse 2]
Em D C D
Masquerading as a man with a reason
Em D C D
My charade is the event of the season
Am G F
And if I claim to be a wise man (F) (G)
Am G D
It surely means that I don't know
Em D C D
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Em D C D
Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean
Am G F
I set a course for winds of fortune (F) (G)
Am G D
But I hear the voices say
|[Chorus]
|Em G D C
| Carry on my wayward son
|Em G D
| There'll be peace when you are done
|Em G D C
| Lay your weary head to rest
|NC
| Don't you cry no more

Carry on
D C
You will always remember
Em NC
Carry on
D C
Nothing equals the splendor
Am G F
Now your life's no longer empty
Am G D
Surely Heaven waits for you
|[Chorus]
|Em G D C
| Carry on my wayward son
|Em G D
| There'll be peace when you are done
|Em G D C
| Lay your weary head to rest
