[Verse]

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
-3   4  -5  4 -4  -3   -3   -3   3 -3 -4

Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
-3   4  -5  4   -4    -3  6   -5   5 5 -5

I was soaring ever higher   But I flew too high
-6 -6  6  -5  -5 5  6 -5    -6 -6  6   -5 5  3

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
-3     4   -5    4   -4 -3  -3   -3  3  -3   -4

Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
-3     4   -5    4    -4  -3   6   -5  5  5   6

I hear the voices when I'm dreaming    I can hear them say
-3 -6  -6   6 -5  -5    5   6  -5     -6 -6   6    7    7

[Chorus]

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

-3 3 -3 4   -3 3 -3 -5   6 7 6 -5 5  -5 3  -5 -2*

-3 3 -3 4   -3 3 -3 -5   6 7 6 -5 5  -5 3  -5 -2*

[Verse]

Masquerading as a man with a reason  My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man  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

[Chorus]

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
