Intro:  G  D/F#  C/E  D

G               D/F#         C/E         Am7
The road is long, with many a winding turn, 
  D      D/D#  Em        F                  Am7 C/D
That leads us to who knows where, who knows where,  
 D       G   D/F#                 Em       D#
But I'm strong, strong enough to carry him ,    
  G            Am7 C/D       G  Am7 C/D
He ain't heavy,      he's my brother, 


          G  D/F#           C/E      Am7
So on we go, his welfare is my concern, 
  D   D/D#   Em     F              Am7 C/D D
No burden is he, to bear, we'll get there,   
       G    D/F#            Em      D# G          Am7
For I know, he would not encumber me, he aint heavy,
C/D          G  Am7
He's my brother,


       C       D/C         C            D/C
If I'm laden at all, then I'm laden with sadness, 
    Bm         Dm
That everyone's heart, 
       C      B         Em     Em/D  C  C/B
Isn't filled, with the gladness, of love, 
 Am7    C/D   D
For one another.


                 G   D/F#                  C/E   Am7
It's a long long road, from which there is no return, 
D          D/D#    Em      F              Am7 C/D D
While we're on our way, to there, why not share,    
        G  Bm D/F# D  D/F#  D  Em       D#
And the load, doesn't weigh me down, at all,
G          Am7 C/D          G
He ain't heavy,     he's my brother,


G          Am7 C/D          G
He ain't heavy,     he's my brother
