Verse 1:
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 he's my brother
[1: ]
(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:
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
that everyone's heart
/
Isn't filled with the gladness
/ [N..]
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
/ / / /
And the load Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
[harmonica solo over first two lines of verse]
Coda:
He's my brother

He ain't heavy he's my brother

He ain't heavy he's my brother [fade]
