The Verse is like a 12 bar blues. You can play 7s or compound 7s. I have used a 13 because

of its quirky effect. Then I play 7s & majors along with 13s for variety.

Chorus: Rhythm changes to a jazz 4/4. Chords become more 'jazzy' in style and progression.

with chromatic progressions here and there to sustain this 'jazzy' style.

But you don't have to follow my chord patterns - improvise your own but keep the same tempo.
