The Hollies – He Ain’t Heavy He’s My Brother

Intro:  G  D  C  D

G               D         C         Am7

The road is long, with many a winding turn,

  D        Em        F                  Am7 C/D   D

That leads us to who knows where, who knows where, 

         G   D                 Em       D#

But I'm strong, strong enough to carry him,   

  G            Am7 C/D       G  Am7 C/D

He ain't heavy,      he's my brother,

          G  D           C      Am7   D

So on we go, his welfare is my concern,

        Em     F              Am7 C/D D

No burden is he, to bear, we'll get there,  

       G    D            Em      D# G          Am7

For I know, he would not encumber me, he aint heavy,

C/D          G  Am7

He's my brother,

       C       D         C            D

If I'm laden at all, then I'm laden with sadness,

    Bm         Dm

That everyone's heart,

         C B         Em          C  C/B

Isn't filled, with the gladness, of love,

 Am7    C/D   D

For one another.

                 G   D                  C   Am7     D

It's a long long road, from which there is no return,

               Em      F              Am7 C/D D

While we're on our way, to there, why not share,   

        G  Bm       D      Em         D#

And the load, doesn't weigh me down, at all,

G          Am7 C/D          G

He ain't heavy,     he's my brother,

G          Am7 C/D          G

He ain't heavy,     he's my brother
