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
