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 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 moreEm (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
