3′ 5′ 5′ (1”3’5′) (7’5’2′) 5′ (5’72’) 6′ 5′ (4’61’)
Car-ry on, my way-ward son;

3′ 5′ 5′ (1”3’5′) (7’5’2′) (5’72’) 3′ 2′
there’ll be peace when you are done.

3′ 5′ 5′ (1”3’5′) (7’5’2′) 5′ (5’72’) 6′ 5′ (4’61’)
Lay your wear-y head to rest;

3′ (2’7) 3′ 2′ 1′ (1’63)
don’t you cry no more.

6 1′ (2’7) 1′ 7 6 (641) 6 5 6 (752)
Once I rose a-bove the noise and con-fu-sion

6 1′ (2’7) 1′ 7 6 (3’1’64) 2′ 1′ (1’5) (2’7)
just to get a glimpse be-yond this il-lu-sion.

(4’2’6) 4′ (3’1’5) 2′ 2′ 1′ 3′ 2′
I was soar-ing ev-er high-er,

(4’2’6) 4′ (3’1’5) 2′ 1′ (52)
but I flew too high.

6 1′ (2’7) 1′ 7 6 (641) 6 5 6 (752)
Though my eyes could see, I still was a blind man.

6 1′ (2’7) 1′ 7 6 (3’1’64) 2′ 1′ (1’5) (2’7)
Though my mind could think, I still was a mad-man.

6 (4’2’6) 4′ (3’1’5) 2′ 2′ 1′ 3′ 2′
I hear the voic-es when I’m dream-ing.

(4’2’6) 4′ (3’1’5) 5′ (5’72’)
I can hear them say:

3′ 5′ 5′ (1”3’5′) (7’5’2′) 5′ (5’72’) 6′ 5′ (4’61’)
Car-ry on, my way-ward son;

3′ 5′ 5′ (1”3’5′) (7’5’2′) (5’72’) 3′ 2′
there’ll be peace when you are done.

3′ 5′ 5′ (1”3’5′) (7’5’2′) 5′ (5’72’) 6′ 5′ (4’61’)
Lay your wear-y head to rest;

3′ (2’7) 3′ 2′ 1′ (1’63)
don’t you cry no more.

6 1′ (2’7) 1′ 7 6 (641) 6 5 6 (752)
Mas-quer-ad-ing as a man with a rea-son,

6 1′ (2’7) 1′ 7 6 (3’1’64) 2′ 1′ (1’5) (2’7)
my cha-rade is the e-vent of the sea-son.

6 (4’2’6) 4′ (3’1’5) 2′ 2′ 1′ 3′ 2′
And if I claim to be a wise man,

2′ (4’2’6) 4′ (3’1’5) 2′ 1′ (52)
it sure-ly means that I don’t know.

6 1′ (2’7) 1′ 7 6 (641) 6 5 6 (752)
On a storm-y sea of mov-ing e-mo-tion,

6 1′ (2’7) 1′ 7 6 (3’1’64) 2′ 1′ (1’5) (2’7)
tossed a-bout, I’m like a ship on the o-cean.

6 (4’2’6) 4′ (3’1’5) 2′ 2′ 1′ 3′ 2′
I set a course for winds of for-tune,

(4’2’6) 4′ (3’1’5) 2′ 3′ 5′ (5’72’)
but I hear the voic-es say:

3′ 5′ 5′ (1”3’5′) (7’5’2′) 5′ (5’72’) 6′ 5′ (4’61’)
Car-ry on, my way-ward son;

3′ 5′ 5′ (1”3’5′) (7’5’2′) (5’72’) 3′ 2′
there’ll be peace when you are done.

3′ 5′ 5′ (1”3’5′) (7’5’2′) 5′ (5’72’) 6′ 5′ (4’61’)
Lay your wear-y head to rest;

3′ (2’7) 3′ 2′ 1′ (1’63)
don’t you cry no more.

5′ 6′ (6’3′) 5′ 6′ (6’4’1′) 5′ 3′ 5′ (3’1’64) 2′ 1′
Car-ry on; you will al-ways re-mem-ber.

5′ 6′ (6’3′) 5′ 6′ (1”6’4’1′) 7′ 6′ (7’4′) (6’4’1′)
Car-ry on, noth-ing e-quals the splen-dor.

6′ 6′ (5’3′) 4′ (41′) 2′ (5’2′) 4′ 2′
Now your life’s no long-er emp-ty;

(4’2’6) 4′ 5′ 5′ (6’1′) 1” (7’5’2′)
sure-ly heav-en waits for you.

3′ 5′ 5′ (1”3’5′) (7’5’2′) 5′ (5’72’) 6′ 5′ (4’61’)
Car-ry on, my way-ward son;

3′ 5′ 5′ (1”3’5′) (7’5’2′) (5’72’) 3′ 2′
there’ll be peace when you are done.

3′ 5′ 5′ (1”3’5′) (7’5’2′) 5′ (5’72’) 6′ 5′ (4’61’)
Lay your wear-y head to rest;

3′ (2’7) 3′ 2′ 1′ (1’63)
don’t you cry no more.
