There’ll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don’t you cry no more

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
(NC)
Don’t you cry no more

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
(NC)
Don’t you cry no more

Now your life’s no longer empty

Surely Heaven waits for you

Carry on my wayward son

There’ll be peace when you are done
Em G D C
Lay your weary head to rest

Don’t you cry {vocal echo: Don’t you cry} no more
