[Verse]
Am Em Am Em Am
In younger days, I told myself my life would be my own
F G C
And I'd leave the place where sunshine never shone
F G Am
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Dm E Am
Then I know again that I must carry on
[Chorus]
F G C C/B Am
Carry on till tomorrow, there's no reason to look back
F G Am Em
Carry on, carry on, carry on
[Verse]
Am Em Am Em Am
Beyond the shadows of the clouds and onward to the sky
F G C
Carry on till I find the rainbow's end
F G Am
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Dm E Am
Then I know again that I must carry on
[Chorus]
F G C C/B Am
Carry on till tomorrow, there's no reason to look back
F G Am Em Am Em
Carry on, carry on, carry on
[Verse]
Am Em Am Em Am
Drifting on the wings of freedom, leave this stormy day
F G C
And we'll ride to tomorrow's golden fields
F G Am
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Dm E Am
Then I know again that I must carry on
F G Am F
Carry on, carry on, carry on
