Lyrics
The (Cm7)road is (Bb)long,
with man y a (Eb)wind ing turn
(F7)that leads us to (Gm)who
knows (Ab)where,
who knows (Cm7)where.
But I’m (Bbmaj7)strong,
strong e nough to (Eb)car ry him.
He ain’t (Cm7)heav y,
he’s my (Bb)broth er.
So (Cm7)on we (Bb)go;
his wel fare is (Eb)my con cern.
(F7)No bur den is (Gm)he
to (Ab)bear,
we’ll get (Cm7)there.
For I (Bbmaj7)know
he would not en (Eb)cum ber me.
He ain’t (Cm7)heav y,
he’s my (Bb)broth er.
So (Cm7)on we (Bb)broth er.
If I’m (Ebmaj7)la den
at (F)all,
I’m (Ebmaj7)la den
with (F)sad ness
that (Dm7)ev
’ry one’s (Fm7)heart
is n’t (Ebmaj7)filled
with the (Gm)glad ness
of (E)love
for one an (Cm7)oth
er.
It’s a (Cm7)long, (C)long (Bb)road,
from which there is (Eb)no re turn.
(F7)While we’re on our (Gm)way
to (Ab)there,
why not (Cm7)share?
And the (Bbmaj7)load
does n’t weigh me (Eb)down at all.
He ain’t (Cm7)heav y,
he’s my (Bb)broth er.
