Carry On Wayward Son (Kansas)

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

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

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
Am    G         D
I can hear them say

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      (N.C.)
Lay your weary head to rest   Don't you cry no more              {riff}

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 sail for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say
                                    Chorus

Em (mute)          D      C        Em (mute)         D          C
Carry on  You will always remember Carry on  Nothing equals the splendor
Am       G                F         Am     G                D
Now your life's no longer empty     Surely Heaven waits for you
                                    Chorus
