Chords for Neil Diamond - He Ain't Heavy...He's My Brother

_ Thank you very much.
I would like to dedicate this song to [B] a man named Bob
Russell.
[G#] Bob wrote the words [Em] to it and as it turned out they were the [G] last words
he was to [G#] write.
The title of the song is taken from a very [B] well-known Boys Town
stamp and the stamp portrays two young boys one carrying the [G] other on his back
and the caption reads [Bm] he ain't heavy father he's my brother. _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _
Strong, [E] _ _ strong [F#m] enough to carry _ [F] him.
_ _ [A] _
He ain't heavy, [Bm] _ _ _ [A] he's my brother, _ [D] so _ we [A] go. _
_ _ _ Strong, _ _ _
_ [E] _ strong [F#m] enough to carry [F] him.
_ _ [A] _ He ain't heavy, _ [Bm] _ _ he's my brother, _
_ [D] _ so we [A] go.
His _ [E] _ _ welfare [D] is my concern.
[Bm] _ [E] No burden [F#m] is he, _ _ [G] there _ [E] we'll get there.
_ _ _ For [A] I know _ _ [E] _ he would [F#m] not
be tall.
_ [F] No need, _ _ [A] _
he ain't heavy, [Bm] _ _ _ [A] he's my brother.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] If I'm laden _ at [Em] all, [D] I'm laden [Em] with sadness.
_ _ [C#m] _
That [Em] everyone's heart _ [D] isn't filled _ [F#m] with the gladness [D#] of love.
_ [B] _ [F#m] _ _ [Bm] Oh what a number, _ _ _ [E] it's a long, [A] long road.
_ From [C#m] which there [D] is no return.
[Bm] _ _ [E] While we're on [F#m] our way, _ [G] hell, _ [B] why not share.
_ [E] _ _ That [A] God _ alone [E] _ _ _ [F#m] doesn't weigh me down [F] at _ _ [A] all.
He ain't heavy, [F#m] _ _ [E] _ [A] he's my brother.
_ _ [D] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] He _ _ ain't heavy, he's [N] my brother.
