Verse 1

(soft, only keys [piano] arpeggiated)

Am     G              F         G

Once I rose above the noise and confusion

Am      G             F           G

Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion

Dm    C            Bb        Bb C

I was soaring ever higher

Dm    C        G     (bass/drums in)

But I flew too high

Am        G                F           G

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man

Am        G                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

Chorus 1

Am    C      G       F     Am          C          G

Carry on, my wayward son,  there'll be peace when you are done

Am       C     G       F   F (hit and off)              Riff 1

Lay your weary head to rest,   don't you cry no more

Verse 2

(soft, keys [piano] arpeggiated /bass/drums)

Am    G           F          G

Masquerading as a man with a reason

Am    G           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                  G

It surely means that I don't know

Am   G             F      G

On a stormy sea of moving emotion

Am     G                F           G

Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean

Dm    C                     Bb         Bb C

I set a course for winds of fortune

Dm    C               G

But I hear the voices say

Chorus 2

Am    C      G       F     Am          C          G

Carry on, my wayward son,  there'll be peace when you are done
