He Aint Heavy He is My Brother

6 -6 7 7
The road is long,

6 -8 7 -7 7 5 -5
with man-y a wind-ing turn

6 6 5 -4 5 5 -5
That leads us to who knows where,

5 -4 4 -4
who knows- where

-6 7 7
But I’m strong,

-8 7 -7 7 7 -8 6
strong e-nough to car-ry him

5 -4 5 6
He ain’t heav-y

4 5 6 5
he’s my broth-er

6 -6 7 7
So on we go,

6 -8 7 -7 7 5 -5
his wel-fare is my con-cern

6 6 5 -4 5 5 -5
No bur-den is he to bare,

5 -4 4 -4
we’ll get – there

-6 7 7 -8 7 -7 7 7 -8 6
For I know he would not en-cum-ber me

5 -4 5 6
He ain’t heav-y

4 5 6 5
he’s my broth-er

7 -6 7 7 -6 -8
If I’m lad-en at all,

6 7 7 7 -8 6
I’m lad-en with sad-ness

6 9 9 9 9 -9 9 8
That ev-‘ry-one’s heart is-n’t filled

8 8 -8 7 -6 8 8 -8 7 8 -8
with the glad-ness of love for one an-oth-er

6 6 -6 7 -8 7
It’s a long- long road

6 -8 7 -7 7 5 -5
from which there is no re-turn

6 6 5 -4 5 5 -5
While we’re on our way to there,

5 -4 4 -4
why not- share

-6 7 7
And the load,

-8 7 -7 7 8 -8 6
does-n’t weigh me down at all

5 -4 5 6 4 5 6 5
He ain’t heav-y – he’s my broth-er
