Intro: G D/F# C/E Am7 D4/7 D7 G D7 G 
         
       D7        G7M D/F#  
The road is long 
                                    C/E  Am7 
With many a winding turn            
D7             Em7 F7M                   Am7 D7 
That leads us to who knows where  
              G7M   D/F#                                      Em7 D# 
But I'm strong,            strong enough to carry him  
G7M                 Am7 D7     G7M   D7 
He ain't heavy, he's my brother  
               G7M D/F#   
So on we go                
                                        C/E    
His welfare is of my concern  
Am7    D7     Em7 F7M                  Am7 D7             
No burden is he to bear,  we'll get there            
         G7M  D/F#                                Em7 D# 
For I know,  he would not encumber me  
G7M         Am7 D7                   G7M  G7 
He ain't heavy,        he's my brother  
             C        D/C       C                 D/C 
If I'm laden at all I'm laden with sadness  
                  Bm7  Dm7          C                           B  Em     Em/D     Am C/D D7   
That everyone's heart isn't filled with the gladness of love for one another 
                         G7M D/F#                             C/E  Am7 D/C 
It's a long, long road,        from which there is no return 
                                Em       F7M                 Am7 C/D D7 
While we're on the way to there  why not share  
              G7M D/F#      C/E   Am                          Em  D#         
And the load, the load doesn't weigh me down at all  
                        Am7 D/C  G7M    
He ain't heavy, he's my brother 
                        Am7 D/C  G7M 
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
