[Verse 1]
N.C.
Carry on my wayward sonN.C.
There'll be peace when you are doneN.C.
Lay your weary head to restN.C.
Don't you cry no moreEmOnce I Drose above the Cnoise and Dconfusion
EmJust to Dget a glimpse Cbeyond this Dillusion
AmI was Gsoaring ever FhigherF G
AmBut I Gflew too Dhigh
EmThough my Deyes could see I Cstill was a Dblind man
EmThough my Dmind could think I Cstill was a Dmad man
AmI hear the Gvoices when I'm FdreaminFg G
AmI can Ghear them Dsay
[Chorus]
EmCarry Gon my Dwayward Cson
EmThere'll be Gpeace when Dyou are done
EmLay your Gweary Dhead to Crest

[Verse 2]
N.C.
Don't you cry no moreEmMasqueDrading as a Cman with a Dreason
EmMy chaDrade is the Cevent of the Dseason
AmAnd if I Gclaim to be a Fwise manF G
AmIt surely Gmeans that I don't Dknow
EmOn a Dstormy sea of Cmoving eDmotion
EmTossed aDbout, I'm like a Cship on the Docean
AmI set a Gcourse for winds of FfortunFe G
AmBut I Ghear the voices Dsay
[Chorus]
EmCarry Gon my Dwayward Cson
EmThere'll be Gpeace when Dyou are done
EmLay your Gweary Dhead to Crest
