The road is long      with many a

Winding turn
      D   D#dim  Em          F
That leads us to who knows where,
          Am7       C/D D7
Who knows where
          G    D/F#               Em
But i'm strong      strong enough to
      Eb
Carry him
G                Am7
  He ain't heavy      he's my
 G              Am7
Brother

 C/E        Am7
 My concern
      D   D#dim Em    F
No burden  is   he to bear, we'll get
 Am7  D7sus4 D7

        C       D7
If i'm laden at all
     C          D
I'm laden with sadness
      Bm         Dm
That everyone's heart
      Cmaj7  B7          Em  G7/D
Isn't filled    with the gladness
    C    B  A7         Am7     D7
Of love       for one another

                   G   D/F#
It's a long, long road
                          C/E   Am7
From which there is no return
                   Em
While we're on the way
    C              Am7   D7sus4 D7
To there, why not share
         G   Bm
And the load
 Bm   D    Bm    D    Em     Eb
 Doesn't   weigh me   down at all
 G                    Am7         G
       He ain't heavy,   he's my brother
