Traveling Light Chords

Intro:    A E B C#m

(verse)              A                 E          
          Well I was doublin' over the load on my shoulders
                B                        C#m
          Was a weight I carried with me everyday
                   A                         E  
          Crossin' miles of frustrations and rivers a ragin'
          B                         C#m
          Pickin' up stones I found along the way


            A   
          I staggered and I stumbled down
          E
          Pathways of trouble
                B                          C#m
          I was haulin' those souvenirs of misery
                   A                   E 
          And with each step takin' my back was breakin'
           B                                      C#m
          'Til found the One who took it all from me

(chorus)              A          E
          Down by the riverside (Down by the riverside)
                    B
          I laid my burdens down,
                  C#m
          Now I'm travelin' light
                    A            E
          My spirit lifted high (I found my freedom now)
                     B
          I found my freedom now,
                  C#m
          And I'm travelin' light

(verse)               A                  E
          Through the darkest alleys and loneliest valleys
                B                              C#m
          I was draggin' those heavy chains of doubt and fear
                    A                   E
          Then with one word spoken the locks were broken
                   B  
          Now He's leading me to places
                             C#m
          Where there are no tears
     
(Repeat chorus)
