| "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: Please note that this is my interpretation of this song. |
| F#m | A |
| Travelin’ light, | is the only way to fly |
| F#m | A |
| Travelin’ light, | just you and I |
| A | F#m |
| One-way ticket | to ecstasy |
| A | F#m |
| Way on | down, follow me |
| F#m | A |
| 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#m(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 |
| 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. |
