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

Carry on, carry on, carry on
