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 F G I was soaring ever higher 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 F G I hear the voices when I'm dreaming Am G D I can hear them say 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 (N.C.) Don't you cry no more {riff} 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 F G And if I claim to be a wise man 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 F G I set sail for winds of fortune Am G D But I hear the voices say 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 (N.C.) Don't you cry no more {riff} Em (mute) Carry on D C You will always remember Em (mute) 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 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 (N.C.) Bm7 Don't you cry {vocal echo: Don't you cry} no more Ok, so its missing alot. Tell me something I dont already know. I kind of grew tired of sitting here all day writing this. Rock long, Rock hard, Rock on.
