[Verse 1]
  C         G    D/F#              C/E          Am7
The road is long,   ...with many a winding turn,
     D7    D#dim7 Em        F     
That leads us to  who knows where,
          Am7   C/D D7
Who knows where?
        G      D/F#                   Em    D#  
But I'm strong,   ...strong enough to carry him,
G              Am7  D7         G      Am7
He ain't heavy,     ...he's my brother

[Verse 2]

So on we go,  ...his welfare is my concern,
   D7    D#dim7 Em    F               Am7   C/D D7
No bur - den is he to bear, we'll get there,
      G    D/F#                   Em     D# 
For I know   ...he would not en - cumber me,
G               Am7  D7           G      Am7
He ain't heavy,        ...he's my brother

[Bridge]
G7/B   C        D/C      C          D/C     
If I'm laden at all, I'm laden with sadness,
     Bm         Dm     Dm7   
That everyone's heart-------,
      Cmaj7    B7            Em       G7/D     
Isn't filled------- with the gladness-------...
   C    C/B  A7   Am7         C/D   D7 C
Of love---------- for one a - nother

[Verse 3]
N.C.              G     D/F#
It's a long, long road,
                    C/E       Am7
From which there is no return,
D7          D#dim7 Em     F              Am7   C/D D7
While we're on the way to there, why not share?
        G    D/F#    C/E    D   C/E   D  Em      D#  
And the load----- ...does - n't weigh me down at all,
^      ^   ^     ^  ^
G                Am7  D7          G      
He ain't heavy,        ...he's my brother
 D/F#         C/E            Am7   D7 D#dim7
| /  /  /  / | /  /  /  / |  /  /  /  /  |

For the GUITAR chord box diagrams to match my
suggested choices you need to manually select the
following choice of options by clicking on the
forward/backward arrows below six of the diagrams.
    G           D/F#       C/E           F    
<4 of 27>    <3 of 20>   <3 of 32>   <2 of 16>
    D#         C/B    
<3 of 16>   <12 of 15>
The remaining chord boxes can be the default
first option and don't need any reselecting.
