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.
