Carry On Wayward Son Chords

(ver. 1)
Kansas
[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 the illusion
Am    G            F    G  Am    G        D
I was soaring ever higher, 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               D         Am    G         D
I hear the voices when I'm dreamin', I can hear them say

[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 2]
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
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
Em      D          C                 Am    G               D
I set a course for winds of fortune, but I hear the voices say

[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 3]
Em        D        C      D
Carry on, you will always remember
Em        D       C          D
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Em       D         C      D
Now your life's no longer empty
Am     G                D
Surely heaven waits for you

[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
