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
