Intro  D  A/C#  G/B     A 

             D   A/C#            G/B         Em7
The road is long,   with many a winding turns
      A    A#?   Bm              C                 Em7   Em7 - A
That leads us,   to, who knows where, who knows where?
           D   A/C#                  Bm   Bb
But I'm strong,   strong enough to carry him
D               Em7 - A7         D      Em7 - A7 
 He ain't heavy,      he's my brother


          D  A/C#                 G/B        Em7
So on we go,    his welfare is of my concern
      A      Bm      C               Em7     Em7 - A 
No burden is he, to bear, we'll get there
       D   A/C#               Bm    Bb
For I know,   he would not encumber me 
D               Em7 - A7         D      Em7 - D7/F# 
 He ain't heavy,     he's my brother   


         G       A/G      G           A/G
If I'm laden at all, I'm laden with sadness
      F#m        A            F#m  - A/E       Bm  - A   
that everyone's heart, isn't filled with the gladness
     G  - G/F#- Em  Em/B       A      A 
Of love,          for one another

   
NC                 D  A/C#                  G/B       Em7
It's a long, long road,  from which there is no return
       A           Bm        C             Em7     Em7 - A
While we're on the way, to there, why not share
          D   A/C#  Bm  - A    G - A   Bm/F#    Bb
And the load,      doesn't weigh me down,  at all
D               Em7 - A7          D      A/C#   G/B   Em  A  Bm  C  Em  A
 He ain't heavy,      he's my brother


        D      A/C#  G/B  A 
He's my brother,
           D    A/C#         G/B   A
He ain't heavy,     he's my brother
           D    A/C#         G/B   A
He ain't heavy,     he's my brother   etc
