I have been reading about the different songwriting forms AABA, ABABCB, etc. and all that makes sense to me. However, I really haven't found an article that gives concrete suggestions on how to change the chorus musically to stay within the context of the song but be different enough to be exciting.

I just put some examples down and ask for ideas. I don't have a song in mind for this, it is just a general question. I'll stay within the key of C to make it easier (I know the chorus, or bridge, can modulate).

Verse example 1: C F G7 C (I, IV, V7, I) --- Chorus ?

Verse example 2: C F Am G7 C (I, IV, vi, V7, I) --- Chorus ?

Verse example 3: C Am G C (I, vi, V, I ) --- Chorus ?

I know there are infinite variations on potential verse progressions and chorus constructions, but I'll stop here to keep it simple.

Note: I was going to post in the songwriting forum, but decided to go here instead.

Thanks in advance,

Kevin
