He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

	  		


Intro:  A  E/G#  D/F#  E  

A                   E/G#              D/F#      Bm7  
The road is long,  with many a  winding turn,   
         E   E/F     F#m           G               Bm7       D/E  
That leads us to who knows where, who knows where,    
 E           A   E/G#                       F#m   F  
but I'm strong,    strong enough to carry him.      
  A         Bm7  D/E        A  Bm7 D/E  
He ain't heavy,      he's my brother.   

              A  E/G#             D/F#      Bm7  
So on we go;     his welfare is my concern.   
  E   E/F       F#m    G             Bm7   D/E  E  
No burden is he to bear; we'll get there,     
         A    E/G#                   F#m         F             A           
for I know       he would not encumber me.   
A            Bm7   D/E     A   Bm7  
He ain't heavy,    he's my brother,  

           D       E/D                D            E/D  
If I'm laden at all, then I'm laden with sadness   
         C#m         Em          D      C#        F#m  
That everyone's heart isn't filled with the gladness  
F#m/E  D  D/C#     Bm7 D/E    E 
      of love        for one another. 

                      A   E/G#             D/F#         Bm7  
It's a long long road,      from which there is no return.   
E               E/F     F#m       G                 Bm7  D/E  E  
While we're on our way to there, why not share?      
             A  C#m E/G#   E   E/G#  E       F#m     F  
and the load              doesn't  weigh me down at all.  
A          Bm7    D/E           A  
He ain't heavy,     he's my brother,  

A          Bm7  D/E              A  
He ain't heavy,     he's my brother.
