1 Transition ChordsObjectiveIn Worship , going from one song to another in a different key can be a distraction if there is an awkward silence in the Transition or the music doesn t move smoothly to the next song. These chord transitions are a tool that allows for the music to continue to the new key without any interruptions, so that people can continue to focus on God as the Worship time 1 Measure 1 Measure 1 Measure 1 Measure 2 Measure 2 Measure 2 Measure 21C to Db2C to D3C to Eb4C to E5C to F6C to Gb7C to G8C to Ab9C to A10C to Bb11C to BC///Ab/CBbmAb7/DbC///Em/AsusADC///Ab/C/ Bb/D/EbC///D/B/D#/EC///Bb/D/C/E/FC//C/EC b/Eb/Db/F/GbC/Am7/D//D/F#GC//CsusDb/F/Eb /G/AbC//C/ED/F#/E/G#/AC///Eb/C/F/BbC///C #m7/F#susF#7 BDetailsHere are some tips on how to use the chord transitions above.

2 Each chord Transition consists of two measures leading to the new key; slashes are used to keep time where there is no chord change. The chart above assumes that you re starting in the key of C. If you re starting in a different key, determine how many half steps you re moving up, find that number on the left (in orange), and transpose that Transition so that the first chord matches your starting key. For example, if you were going from F to G, you would determine that you re moving up by 2 half steps, so you would want the Transition from C to D above, and you would transpose all the Chords in that Transition to: F / / / Am / Dsus D : CONTINUITY IN Worship KEITH PURVISPAGE 1 OF 3 Other Starting KeysMeasure 1 Measure 1 Measure 1 Measure 1 Measure 2 Measure 2 Measure 2 Measure 21A to Bb2A to B3A to C4A to Db5A to D6A to Eb7A to E8A to F9A to Gb10A to G11A to AbA///F/AGmF7/BbA///C#m/F#susF#BA///F/A/ G/B/CA///B/Ab/C/DbA///G/B/A/C#/DA//A/C#A b/C/Bb/D/EbA/F#m7/B//B/D#EA//AsusBb/D/C/ E/FA//A/C#B/Eb/Db/F/GbA///C/A/D/GA///Bbm 7/EbsusEb7 AbMeasure 1 Measure 1 Measure 1 Measure 1 Measure 2 Measure 2 Measure 2 Measure 21G to Ab2G to A3G to Bb4G to B5G to C6G to Db7G to D8G to Eb9G to E10G to F11G to GbG///Eb/GFmEb7/AbG///Bm/EsusEAG///Eb/G/ F/A/BbG///A/F#/A#/BG///F/A/G/B/CG//G/BGb /Bb/Ab/C/DbG/Em7/A//A/C#DG//GsusAb/C/Bb/ D/EbG//G/BA/C#/B/D#/EG///Bb/G/C/FG///Abm 7/DbsusDb7 GbSUBJECT.
