^{Key: :[G#] (w: Bob Russell, Bobby Scott)}

INTRO:
[G#] [D#] [C#] [D#7sus4 open]

VERSE 1:
The road is [G#] long [D#]
with many a [C#] winding turn [A#m]
That [D#] leads [Edim] us to [Fm]
who knows [F#] where, who knows [A#m] where [D#7sus4]

CHORUS 1:
But I'm [G#] strong [D#]
strong enough to [Fm] carry [E] him
[G#] He ain't heavy [A#m]
[D#7sus4] he's my [G#] brother

VERSE 2:
[A#m] So [D#7sus4] on we [G#] go [D#]
his welfare is of [C#] my concern [A#m]
No [D#] bur-[Edim]-den is [Fm] he
to [F#] bear, we'll get [A#m] there [D#]

CHORUS 2:
For I [G#] know [D#]
he would not [Fm] encumber [E] me
[G#] He ain't heavy [A#m]
[D#7sus4] he's my [G#] brother [A#m] [G#7]

BRIDGE:
If I'm [C#] laden at [D#7/C#] all
I'm [C#] laden with [D#7/C#] sadness
that [Cm] everyone's [D#m] heart
Isn't [C#maj7] filled [C7] with the [Fm] glad-[G#7]-ness
Of [C#] love [/C] [A#7] for one an-[A#m]-other [D# open]

VERSE 3:
It's a long, long [G#] road [D#]
from which there is [C#] no return [A#m]
[D#] While [Edim] we're on the [Fm] way
to [F#] there, why not [A#m] share [D#]

CHORUS 3:
And the [G#] load [D#] doesn't
weigh me [Fm] down at [E] all
[G#] He ain't heavy [A#m]
[D#7sus4] he's my [G#] brother

INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]

OUTRO:
[G#] He's my brother [D#] [Fm] [D#7sus4]
He ain't [G#] heavy [D#], he's my [Fm] brother [D#7sus4]
He ain't [G#] heavy [D#], he's my [Fm] brother [D#7sus4]
