Carry On - 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

Am         G                     F            F      G
  Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Am        G                      F             F   G
  Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
Dm       C                Bb    Bb C
  I was soaring ever higher
Dm      C          G
  But I flew too high
Am                G                       F            F      G
  Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Am               G                          F             F     G
  Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
Dm             C                       Bb
  I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
Dm      C             G
  I can hear them say

{Refrain:
Am       C        G                 Am            C                G

  Carry on my wayward son, there'll be peace when you are done
Am            C       G                 Am
  Lay your weary head to rest . . . . don't you cry no more }
Am          G               F              F   G
  Masquerading as a man with a reason
Am          G               F              F   G
  My charade is the event of the season
Dm          C                 Bb    Bb C
  And if I claim to be a wise man
Dm          C                          Bb    Bb C
  It surely means that I don't know
Am      G                   F            F      G
  On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Am            G                    F              F      G
  Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
Dm      C                      Bb
  I set sail for winds of fortune
Dm      C                     G
  But I hear the voices say

[REFRAIN]

Am (mute)               C           G
  Carry on, you will always remember
Am (mute)             C             G
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Dm              C                    Bb     Bb C
  Now your life's no longer empty
Dm        C                        G
  Surely heaven waits for you

[REFRAIN]
