---------------------------------------
Intro:
/
The road is long,with many a winding turn,that leads us to who knows where,
who knows where, but i'm strong, strong enough to carry him, he ain't heavy,
/F# /E /
he's my brother, so on we go, his welfare is my concern, no burden is he,
to bear, we'll get there, for i know, he would not encumber me, he aint heavy,
he's my brother,
/
If i'm leaning at all, i'm leaning with sadness, that everyone's heart,
/B
isn't filled, with the gladness, of love, for one another.
/
I'ts a long long road, from which there is no return, while we're on the way,
/
to there, why not share, and the load, doesn't weigh me down, at all,
he ain't heavy, he's my brother,
he's my brother, he ain't heavy,
he's my brother, he ain't heavy.
