[Intro]

        (harmonica w/piano and bass)

        G       D/F#     C/E     D7sus4  N.C.
        / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  /


[Verse 1]

                     G   D/F#              C/E         Am7
        The road is long      with many a winding turn
              D   D#dim  Em          F               Am7  Am7/D D7
        That leads us to who knows where, who knows where
                  G    D/F#                   Em   Eb
        But I'm strong      strong enough to carry him
        G                Am7 D7sus4          G
          He ain't heavy            he's my brother

        [1:  Am7 D7sus4]
               (So on...)

        [2:  Am7 G7/B ; to bridge]

        [3: to harmonica solo]


[Verse 2]

        So on we go  his welfare is of my concern
        No burden is he to bear, we'll get there
        For I know he would not encumber me
        He ain't heavy, he's my brother


[Bridge]

                C       D7/C
        If I'm laden at all
             C         D7/C
        I'm laden with sadness
              Bm         Dm
        that everyone's heart
              Cmaj7  B7           Em G7/D
        Isn't filled    with the gladness
            C   /B A7          Am7     D7  N.C.
        Of love       for one another


[Verse 3]

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

        He ain't heavy      he's my brother
                   G   D/F#       Cmaj7/E   D
        He ain't heavy      he's my brother [fade]
