Car ry on, my way ward son;

there’ll be peace when you are done.

Lay your wea ry head to rest;

don’t you cry no more.

Once I (G)rose a bove the (F)noise and con (G)fu sion just to (G)get a glimpse be (F)yond this il (G)lu sion.

I was soar ing ev er (Bb)high er,

it but I flew that too don’t (G)high.

Though my (G)eyes could see, I (F)still was a (G)blind man.

Though my (G)mind could think, I (F)still was a (G)mad man.

I hear the (C)voic es when I’m (Bb)dream ing.

I can hear the them es (G)say:

Car ry (C)on, my way ward son;

there’ll be (C)peace when you are done.

Lay your (C)wea ry head to rest;

(CN.C.)don’t you cry no more.

Mas quer (G)ad ing as a (F)man with a (G)rea son, my cha (G)rade is the e (F)vent of the (G)sea son.

And I claim to be a (Bb)wise man,

it sure ly flew that too don’t (G)know.

On a (G)storm y sea of (F)mov ing e (G)mo tion, tossed a (G)bout, I’m like a (F)ship on the (G)o cean.

I set a (C)course for winds of (Bb)for tune,

but I hear the them es (G)say:

Car ry (C)on, my way ward son;

there’ll be (C)peace when you are done.

Lay your (C)wea ry head to rest;

(CN.C.)don’t you cry no more.

Car ry on; (G)you will (F)al ways re mem ber.

Car ry on; (G)noth ing (F)e quals the splen dor.

Now your (C)life’s no long er (Bb)emp ty;

sure ly (C)heav en waits for (G)you.

Car ry (C)on, my way ward son;

there’ll be (C)peace when you are done.

Lay your (C)wea ry head to rest;

(CN.C.)don’t you cry no more.

Car ry (C)on, my way ward son;

there’ll be (C)peace when you are done.

Lay your (C)wea ry head to rest;

(CN.C.)don’t you cry no more.
