TITLE: Carry On Wayward Son
Lyrics and Chords
{Refrain}
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 C G GF / Am C G - / 1st / C - - /
/ AmC D G D / /
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high
/ Am G F FG / / Dm C Bb BbC / Dm C G - /
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say
{Refrain}
/ Am C G GF / Am C G - / 1st / C - - /
Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, well
It surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say
{Refrain}
No!
/ Am G F G / / / /
Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you
/ Am - F G / / Dm C Bb BbC / Dm C G - /
{Refrain}
