The Reign Of Kindo - Breathe Again
This is a great fluid jazz style composition.
You can (and should) drop some of the chords and play a bit off-beat, where you think it works.
Try adding leading chords, as well. Such as the D leading to E in the verses.
Add some neighbor notes to fill the sound as you see fit.
[Verse 1]
Dm E Am Fmaj7
Snow in the air as it rides the winter breeze
Dm E Am Fmaj7
Crystals of ice are hanging from the trees
E Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7
The morning of Christmas has arrived in its due time
Cm Bb A D
The children are waiting, their joy becomes mine
[Verse 2]
Dm E Am Fmaj7
We march down the stairs and into the other room
Dm E Am Fmaj7 (Dm)
The lights shining bright on the tree for all to view
E Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7
The window is shattered and the presents are all gone
Dm E Am
And all the cries of my children wrote this song
[Chorus 1]
A Fmaj7
And I swear when I get my hands on him
Cmaj7 (Cmaj7/E)
He'll never breathe again, never breathe again
A Fmaj7
I won't stop tearing him limb from limb
Cmaj7 (Cmaj7/E)
He'll never breathe again, never breathe again
(Dm, E, Am, Fmaj7) x2
[Bridge]
E Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7
I get in my car to chase the only set of tracks
Cm Bb A D
A gun in my hands and a bag in the back
[Verse 3]
Dm E Am Fmaj7
Deep in the slums I saw him with their toys
Dm E Am Fmaj7 (Dm)
My gunshot rang out but the snow absorbed the noise
E Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7
I bagged up his body and I threw it in the car
Dm E Am
With all the toys that he'd carried oh so far
[Chorus 2]
A Fmaj7
Now that I got my hands on him
Cmaj7 (Cmaj7/E)
I can breathe again, I can breath again
A Fmaj7
Finally I've rid the world of him
Cmaj7 (Cmaj7/E)
And I can breathe again, I can breath again
[Verse 4]
Dm E Am Fmaj7
Back at the house all my children were so sad
Dm E Am Fmaj7 (Dm)
When their presents returned then not but joy they'll surely have
E Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7
I drove to the river and I threw the body in
Dm E Am (A)
And no one else will be paying for his sin
[Chorus 3]
A Fmaj7
Something screaming inside me says that
Cmaj7 (Cmaj7/E)
I can breathe again, I can breath again
A Fmaj7
Judge me all that your hearts desire
Cmaj7 (Cmaj7/E)
But I can breathe again, I can breath again
