Kansas

^Em Once I ^D rose above the ^C noise and ^D confusion
^Em Just to ^D get a glimpse ^C beyond this ^D illusion
^Am I was ^G soaring ever ^F higher ^{F G
Am} But I ^G flew too ^D high
^Em Though my ^D eyes could see I ^C still was a ^D blind man
^Em Though my ^D mind could think I ^C still was a ^D mad man
^Am I hear the ^G voices when I'm ^F dreaming ^{F G
Am} I can ^G hear them ^D say
^Em Carry ^G on my ^D wayward ^C son
^Em There'll be ^G peace when ^D you are done
^Em Lay your ^G weary ^D head to ^C rest
(N.C.)
Don't you cry no more
^Em Masque ^D rading as a ^C man with a ^D reason
^Em My cha ^D rade is the ^C event of the ^D season
^Am And if I ^G claim to be a ^F wise man ^{F G
Am} It surely ^G means that I don't ^D know
^Em On a ^D stormy sea of ^C moving ^D emotion
^Em Tossed ^D about I'm like a ^C ship on the ^D ocean
^Am I set ^G sail for winds of ^F fortune ^{F G
Am} But I ^G hear the voices ^D say
^Em Carry ^G on my ^D wayward ^C son
^Em There'll be ^G peace when ^D you are done
^Em Lay your ^G weary ^D head to ^C rest
(N.C.)
Don't you cry no more
Em (mute)
Carry on
You will ^D always ^C remember
Em (mute)
Carry on
Nothing ^D equals the ^C splendor
^Am Now your ^G life's no longer ^F empty
^Am Surely ^G Heaven waits for ^D you
^Em Carry ^G on my ^D wayward ^C son
^Em There'll be ^G peace when ^D you are done
^Em Lay your ^G weary ^D head to ^C rest
