You can make each verse into a volta: Chorus CodaSign |1. verse 1 :|| |2. verse 2 || D.C. CodaSign Coda Or you can use a single fermata instead of the coda signs, although that's really for a situation where you were going to go on to a variation of the whole thing rather than a coda. Besides, it's so old fashioned that many might not understand it. It may be nicer to print the chorus twice instead of having volte, depending on page turns and the length of the piece. And most of all the dynamics. If someone else is going to print this, do volte or D.C. and not both: Chorus CodaSign verse 1 || D.C. CodaSign verse 2 || Chorus Coda daveA -- The "information economy" is a fantasy. Information about what? The "global economy" is a myth. All economics is local.
