He ain`t heavy, he`s my brother    (intro) (midi)    (sample)

 

                         G   D                       C                 Am       

1. The road is long,    with many a winding turn,        

             D              Em                 F                           Am    - D7

    that leads us to who knows where, who knows where

                  G      D                                Em   Eb 

    but i'm strong,      strong enough to carry him,

 G                        Am-D               G    - Am

    he ain't heavy          he's my brother. 

 

          D        G   D                        C                Am

2. So on we go,     his welfare is my concern,

           D           Em       F                     Am  - D7

    no burden is he, to bear, we'll get there.  

               G     D                            Em       Eb

    For I know,     he would not encumber me,

 G                       Am-D                G      - Am   D

    he aint heavy,         he's my brother,

              C          D          C              D        

    If I'm laden at all, I'm laden with sadness,

           Bm              Dm           B7

    that everyone's heart, isn't filled,

                  Em                C - A7                 Am     D 

    with the gladness, of love,      for one another.

 

              D7             G    D                                 C             Am       

3. It`s a long, long road,     from which there is no return,

              D                  Em        F                     Am    - D7

    while we`re on the way to there, why not share?

                    G    D                               Em         Bb

    And the load,     doesn't weigh me down, at  all,

G                         Am-D                G        Am

    he ain't heavy,         he's my brother,

                   G       D                  C       D7

    he ain't heavy,      he's my brother,

                   G       D                  C         D7 - G

    he ain't heavy,      he's my brother.
