[Verse 1]
G D/F#
The road is long
Cadd9 Am7
with the many winding turns

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
[Verse 2]

So on we go
Cadd9 Am7
His welfare is my concern

He ain't heavy, he's my brother

If I'm laden at all
C D/C
I'm laden with sadness
Bm7 Dm7 Cadd9 Bm7
that everyone's heart isn't filled
Em G C Bm7 Am7 C/G D/F#
with the gladness of love for one another
[Verse 3]
G D/F#
It's a long, long road
Cadd9 Am7
From which there is no return

While we're on our way to there

Why not share

And the load

He ain't heavy, he's my brother
