There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Em D C DOnce I rose above the noise and confusion
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 DThough 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 DI 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
{riff}
- 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 GAnd 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 DTossed 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 CCarry on my wayward son
Em G DThere'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 (mute)

Em (mute)
Carry on
D CNothing equals the splendor
- Am G F
Now your life's no longer empty
Am G D Surely Heaven waits for you
Em G D CCarry on my wayward son
Em G DThere'll be peace when you are done
- Em G D C
Lay your weary head to rest
