[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 C Lay your weary head to rest, don't you cry no more [Verse 1] 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 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 And if I claim to be a wise man Am G D It surely means that I don't know [Ending 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 C Lay your weary head to rest, don't you cry no more
