Travelin Light

"travelin’ light" from the 1976 jj cale album , "troubadour" . standard tuning 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 Amaj travelin’ light , is the only way to fly f#min Amaj travelin’ light , just you and i Amaj f#min one - way ticket to ecstasy Amaj f#min way on down , follow me f#min Amaj travelin’ light , is 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 . lynyrd sknyrd - the same old blues , call me the breeze . trey presson and the bootheel contingent - travelin’ light . maybe you can find your own diamond in the rough , and believe me , it’s out there .
