I have a start on an arrangement from Louis on "Travel On." (see below)

Louis, can yo show me (here in the thread) where the chords go for the refrain and first verse?

(BTW, after much discussion at home, we think Sweet Foreverland is in 12/8. Let's finish arranging Travel On and setting it in the right key, then work on 4everland next.)

I think I learned Travel On. It starts in G minor, then travels quickly to a Bflat and a C back to Gminor, then the second refrain stays in C, then the whole progression again and then it goes to a Bb, a C (or C7) and then ends on a D7.

the bridge is Bflat, Eflat, Gminor, F, Bflat and then Bflat,Eflat, D7.

I think I have to show it to you, because the chords changed so much. In the first refrain you don't have to play the Bb, but the bass has to.

TRAVEL ON
Learned from the singing of the Jackson Southernaires on Sinner's Crossroads WFMU. Adapted, arranged, and v. 3 and 4 by Susan O. Hinton for the Good News-Goodtime Band, (c) May 2004.


REFRAIN:
Let me tell the world that I, I'll travel on.
I, I'll keep the faith.
I'll bring some soul, I'll bring them to the throne of grace.
Whenever others are weak, that's the time that I'll be strong.
And I'll teach them right from wrong, and travel on, travel on.

1. I'm a soldier in God's army;
I'm climbing up 'round by 'round
I wanna be there in due time to wear my robe,
My slippers and my starry crown.....

2. Sometimes in my traveling,
I've had a lot of ups and downs.
But I just know if I keep working for Jesus,
My soul will be heaven bound....

3. So many people I meet along Your way
From You, Lord, they are so far.
When they cry out to me for help, Lord,
Help me tell them Who You are....

4. And some day in my traveling
Let me reach Your golden gate.
Let me see You face to face, Lord,
Oh Jesus, I can hardly wait....
