Allie, I may post the chords later (I'll probably modify them a little from the ones from the link you posted.), but here are the lyrics. Thanks for the link.
Ted, thanks for the offer. I may yet take you up on it, but I don't think I need to, since I've got the chords now.

He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

(Bobby Scott - Bobby Russell)

The road is long
with many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where, who knows where,
But I'm strong, strong enough to carry him.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.

So on we go. His welfare is my concern.
No burden is he to bear, we'll get there,
For I know he will not encumber me.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.

If I'm laden at all,
I'm laden with sadness
that everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another.

It's a long, long road
from which there is no return.
While we're on the way to there, why not share?
And the load doesn't weigh me down at all.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother,
He's my brother.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.
