Moved Them Out
An original gospel song, words and music by Henry Q Allen. Here is the chord chart, free, with the numbers under every chord so you can play it in church this Sunday.
Both print clearly in black and white. No sign-up needed.
The move to learn
Bbm7 Eb7 Abmaj7
Bar 4 of the chorus is the 2-5-1 to the 4. You never leave Eb; you borrow the 4 chord for one bar, then walk home: 4, the 1 with its 3 in the bass, 2, 5.
The G7 in bar 2 is the 3 chord made major. It is what gives "gone" its lift. In C the same move is Gm7, C7, Fmaj7, the exact move on my 2-5-1 to the 4 practice track.
The last chorus goes up a whole step to F. Same shape, same numbers. If you know it by numbers, the key change costs you nothing.

Who wrote this. I started learning piano at thirty-five, because my pastor asked me to become the church musician. I play by ear, every Sunday at my church in St. Louis since March 2007. I write these songs, and then I chart them the way I would want to learn them.
