He Aint Heavy Hes My Brother

G D/F# Em7 D

[Verse 1]
           G      D/F#
The road is long
             Cadd9           Am7
with the many winding turns
    D           Em        F
that leads us to who knows where
         Am7     D
Who knows where
       G        D/F#
But I'm strong
                Em7   Eb
Strong enough to carry him
G           Am7 D      G         Am7
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

[Verse 2]
  D     G    D/F#
So on we go
              Cadd9        Am7
His welfare is my concern
  D         Em    F
No burden is he to bear
         Am7     D
We'll get there
     G      D/F#
For I know
            Em7     Eb
He would not encumber me
G           Am7 D      G         Am7 Bm7
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

[Chorus]
      C        D/C
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
     D            Em     F
While we're on our way to there
       Am7     D
Why not share
       G      D/F#
And the load
               Em7      Eb
Doesn't weigh me down at all
G           Am7 D      G
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

[Outro]
       G           D/F# Em7 D
He's my brother...
        G          D/F# Em7 D
He ain't heavy...
       G           D/F# Em7 D
He's my brother...
