"Travelin' Light" from the 1976 JJ Cale album, "Troubadour".

In the Key of F#minor/G flatminor
The song starts out in F#minor, you should prefer to listen to the song
Author's note: Note that the F#'s are F# minor's, and also
Please note that this is my interpretation of this song.
Verse 1
[F#min]Travelin' light, is[Amaj] the only way to fly
[F#min]Travelin' light, ju[Amaj]st you and I
[Amaj]One-way ticket to[F#min] ecstasy
[Amaj]Way on down, [F#min]follow me
[F#min]Travelin' light, i[Amaj]s the only way to fly
Bridge-There is a slight bridge/break here and after the second verse
It's played like this: B B F#(x3), then you end on a B while playing it
a few times, then go back into the song playing like the intro, but you
can play a solo there, etc. Try to always make it your own
Verse 2
Travelin' light, we can go beyond
Travelin' light, we can catch the wind
Travelin' light, let your mind pretend
We can go to paradise
Maybe once, maybe twice
Travelin' light, is the only way to fly
This is a great JJ Cale tune, people usually go to JJ Cale for good songs, people like:
Eric Clapton- Mustang Sally, Cocaine.

Maybe you can find your own diamond in the rough, and believe me, it's out there.
