Hey KK, Doing this in F major sounds a little to low to me, I just transposed up to G Major, it sounds a little more like Felix's key to me. I think I told you once before, I'm self taught, playing about 45 years,so I am always open to what you guys who really play say. Originally I was a drummer who studied under Bernard Purdie in the early 70's a really great studio drummer.

Played around with this and found some tricks. Transpose this to D for the Verse/G for the chorus. Now you can Capo III for the record version or lower it to fit your voice. Also you can add Em F#m G Ab A for the Horn run between verse and Chorus. Works really well. Also there's a Bridge with the horns that's not in this version. The chords with Capo II are D F Bb A. I like the guitar voicing with the Capo at II.
