[G]
[Bm] [Gbm]
[C]
[A] The road [D] is long with many a [Bm] [G] winding turn [A] that leads us [Bm] to who
[D] knows [G] where, who knows [Em] when.
[G]
But [D] I'm strong,
[A] I'm strong [G] [Bm] enough to carry him.
[Bb]
[A] He ain't [Bm] heavy, [Em]
[D] he's my brother.
[Em]
So on [D] we go.
[A]
His welfare [Bm] is
[G] my concern.
[Em]
No [Gb] burden is [Bm]
he [C] to bear.
We'll get [Em]
there.
For [D] I know [A]
he would not [Bm]
encumber me.
[Bb]
[A]
He [Bm] ain't heavy,
[G] he's [D] my brother.
Oh, if [G] I'm laden at
[A] all, [G]
I'm laden with [A]
sadness.
[Gbm]
That [Am] everyone's [D] heart isn't [G] filled [Gb] with the [Bm]
gladness of [Abm]
love.
[E]
One [A]
another.
It's a long [D] [Bb] line, it's a [Eb] long, long road from [Bb]
which there [Cm] is no [Fm] return.
Why, [G] we're on the [Cm]
way to [Db]
there.
Why not [Bb]
share?
And [Eb] the load [Bb]
[Ab] doesn't weigh me [Cm] down at
[B] all.
[Bb] He ain't heavy, [Cm] [Ab]
[Eb] he's [Bb] my brother.
[Eb]
