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 demingman2199@juno.com.
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
