You Can Leave Your Hat On, Interpretation
=========================================
Artist....: Joe Cocker
Title.....: You Can Leave Your Hat On
Author....: dregenrocks
Version...: 28th April 2011
Comment...: Updated my tab from 5 years ago. Had it apparently in an
absolutely wrong key. Never played it again the last years
though, so never heard the wrong chords. Actually, the
punkrock-project I tabbed this one for made little difference
bewteen major and minor in the result.
But nevertheless, all respect to the comment of wysocki, which
let me reactivate my account to correct this.
Song Key..: C-Major

those chordsmajor are cmajor f major g major. eb is actually e!
Hmm. Nice try, but those chords are WAY wrong. The song is in C MAJOR and the verses are a C7 chord all the way through.
The "you can leave your hat on" and "give me a reason to live" refrains are: C C/E F7 G7#9.
The horn section bridges are: Bb F C7
