CARRY ON WAYWARD SON by KANSAS
 Lyrics, Chords, and that awesome riff!
 (N.C.)
 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

 {repeat once each time played}
 
 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
 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               F           F G
 I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
 Am    G         D
 I 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 G
 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
 Am    G                 F         F G
 I set sail for winds of fortune
 Am    G               D
 But I hear the voices 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 (mute)
 Carry on
          D      C
 You will always remember
 Em (mute)
 Carry on
         D          C
 Nothing equals the splendor
 Am       G                F
 Now your life's no longer empty
 Am     G                D
 Surely Heaven waits for you
 
 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.)                                       Bm7
 Don't you cry {vocal echo: Don't you cry} no more

 Note: This is based on Carry on Wayward Son music done in a possibly different key (taken from an SATB arrangement). The last time I heard the real song was a few months ago...
