Hammondman, I like your arrangement of the chords on "God" "Has" "Smiled" "on" "Me", nice! However on the ending, although I understand where your going I didn't get the last chord. Maybe there is a typo or it may just sound different on this small portable keyboard I'm using; I thought you would go back to the chord on Degree 1 "Me":  But I still liked it. Contemporary 1-6-5-1 on 1st 5 chords of God Has Smiled on Me. On the rest of PT1, I normally use the same chord progression that was posted in the contemporary section from 4hisGlory  Only difference would be chord selection/voicing
LH-----Righ Hand-----Degree-----Chord-----Lyrics
CGB---CDEG-------------1--------CM7+2----God
AEG---ACEG--------------6--------Am7-------Has
G-------FAbBD-----------5------------GM7b9---Smiled
Db------BEbG---------Passing------Db9b5-------on
CGB---CDEG-------------1--------CM7+2----Me

You now what....I think it's a CM13 chord not CM7 (9/11) because of the A note...but if I am wrong...please let me know
Title: Love...

YOU'RE RIGHT, DDW4E...MY MISTAKE I CORRECTED IT:

cas10a, HELLO  :)  EVERY NOTE IS INTENDED, YOU MAY NOT BE USED TO HEARING THE ARRANGEMENT THAT WAY..."ME" WOULDN'T END ON THE ONE, "FREE" IS ON THE ONE.

Hammondman, I wasn't trying to be condescending or sarcastic, I think God anoints your playing.  I just didn't understand the last chord that you were playing, and as I said before, it could have been the toy keyboard I'm using: And your right I may not be use to hearing that chord on the 1 for “Free”.  All I’m saying is I couldn’t follow the Last Chord; But I still love your music “man”.  Give me some time and I’ll post what I hear using Hammondman’s beautiful rendition.

Hammond, glad all is good!!  no harm, no foul.  After playing those chords over and over. I could hear where the progression was going on that last chord, and it was nice. Below is what I was hearing from your arrangement. I modified some of the chords, just because it was more comfortable for me to play, but kept the root chords of your progression.

LH/RH Chord-Degree-Lyric
C/BDEG  - 1 - God
BbAb/CE  - Has
AbEb/GBbCEb - Smiled
GF/GCDF - on
CE/ADG  - 1 – me

Here is 1 spot I would have probably stayed at the 1 & just change chord selection back to original degree 1 chord used on Lyric “God” above, although I’m guessing you were using the circle of fourths to get from the “Bb” chord back to “Ab” which works too.
C/BDEG  - 1 – He
Eb/GCDbF - has
AbEb/GBbCEb – set
GF/GCDF  - me
This was the chord in question, but now I see that you just modified the chord selection and used a flat 5. I still prefer going back to the 1 chord above “CE/ADG”, but that is musical preference, after playing over, it sounded good both ways.
***CE/ADF#  - 1 – Free

I am still learning, and this rendition helped out a lot (I never would have thought to play it this way).  If you have time I would like to see how you would do the rest of the song and if I’ve made errors in the theory above, let me know.  I like this so much, I attempted to complete the song progression below.

Passing - Bb/AbCDG
Passing – Ab/AbCDF
E/GBbDG – God
AF/BbDbFBb, AE/AC#EA – Ha -as
DC/FACE – Smiled
ED/EGBE – on
F#E/F#AC – Me
DC/FACE – He’s Been
G/FAbBD – Good
Db/BEbFBb - to
CE/ADF#A – Me  (There’s that chord, nice!!)
