[Chorus]
Em G D C Em G D
Carry on my wayward son, There'll be peace when you are done
Em G D C C
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 F G
I was soaring ever higher
Am G D
But I flew too high
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
Am G D
It surely means that I don't know
[Ending Chorus]
Em G D C Em G D
Carry on my wayward son, There'll be peace when you are done
Em G D C C
Lay your weary head to rest, don't you cry no more
