KANSAS - "Carry On My Wayward Son" Tablature
Official KANSAS Tablature & Sheet Music »
PROPS GO TO: garrett
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
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official KANSAS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
