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

INTRO:
[F#] [C#] [B] [C#7sus4 open]

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

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

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

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

BRIDGE:
If I'm [B] laden at [C#7/B] all
I'm [B] laden with [C#7/B] sadness
that [A#m] everyone's [C#m] heart
Isn't [Bmaj7] filled [A#7] with the [D#m] glad-[F#7]-ness
Of [B] love [/A#] [G#7] for one an-[G#m]-other [C# open]

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

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

INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]

OUTRO:
[F#] He's my brother [C#] [D#m] [C#7sus4]
He ain't [F#] heavy [C#], he's my [D#m] brother [C#7sus4]
He ain't [F#] heavy [C#], he's my [D#m] brother [C#7sus4]
