Thanks for the replies Chris and Steve.
I like the C9 chord. It didn't quite work where I wanted, but it adds a nice sound in another place (from C to G). Sounds great as a filler there.
I've gone through what seems like 100's of chords tonight and the closet I've come to is what I call a G/D (adding the D note on the B string - third fret). It might be okay in the chorus I think. But in the verses I'd like to add a little more tension as the verses are more intense than the chorus. Hope this makes sense. I can't seem to find that magic sound/chord I'm looking for. If I can't find it, I'll just go with the G/D.
It could be a dominant 7th chord I'm looking for. Like using the G7 when going from G to C. Or the C7 when going from C to F. I don't know what the equivalent would be with the chords I'm using. I tried several, but no winner.
If the song was in better forum, I would post it, but it needs work.
I need to restudy my chord theory! However, it's much better asking the experts.
Thanks.
