You know he's moving fast, but he's still going slow
                   Cm
He's ahead in the race, and there's not far to go
C7                   Fm                               Bb
And your load is so heavy, and your legs want to rest
Bb        Cm    Bb        Cm    Bb        Cm
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right

You think he's way up in front, but he's so far behind
He's asleep in the grass, and he's run out of time
While your load was so heavy, you never wanted to stop
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right

 Am                  F
Your friend is heavy, but he was ready
 D7                       G
And never stopped for a while
 Am                     F
While you were sleeping, he went on keeping
 D7                    Gm
The final line in his mind

Gm / / / Bb / / / Eb / / / C7 / / / Fm / / / / / / Bb

It's all right, it's all right, it's all right

It's all right, it's all right, it's all right

Your friend is heavy, but he was ready
And never stopped for a while
And while you were sleeping, he went on keeping
The final line in his mind
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
