Carry On My Wayward Son

this is a great song. i am a new guitarist, so some of the tabs posted here

are tough for me. so, ive decided to post some songs that i like which are

easier to play, yet still accurate. i've posted some songs that are just chords

but this time i am posting the tabs. it sounds the same as in the song, but if

there are any corrections or questions, just email me at [email protected].

enjoy.

MAIN RIFF (2x)

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 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 F F G Am G D

i hear the voices when i'm dreaming, 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 N.C

lay your weary head to rest dont you cry no more

MAIN RIFF (2x)

Em D C D

masquerdaing as a man with a reason

Em D C D

my charade is the event of the season

Am G F F G Am G D

and if i claim to be a wise man 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 Am G D

i set a course for winds of fortune, but i hear the voices say......

CHORUS

MAIN RIFF (2x)

Em G D

Carry on, you will always remember

Em G D

Carry on, nothing equals the splendor

Am F F G Am G D

now your life's no longer empty, surely heaven waits for you

Chorus minus last line

LAST LINE:

N.C. Bm7

dont you cry no more
