Original song in key Bb (II position); Another harp in F (I poss.) can be used simultaneously for brass parts (following choeurs); It's easier if you play octaves (14 = 1##4,-48 = -4###-8 etc) and chords as single notes, but it really pays the effort to learn to play with them.. brass intro: 14-14-25-14-25-14 14 -14 14-14-25-14-25-14 14 -14 14-14-25-14-25-14 14 -14 14-14 3-3'4 5 5 5 5 -4 5 Ba-by take off your coat 5 -4-4-4' Re-al slow 5' 5 -4 5' Take off your shoes -5 5 -4 -3 5 I'll take off your shoes -5 -5 5 -4 5' Baby take off your dress 5 5 -4 Yes, yes, yes -3 -4 -5 5 5 -4 You can leave your hat on -3 -4 -5 5 5 -4 [47 47] You can leave your hat on -3 -4 -5 5 5 -4 You can leave your hat on [-48,-48-48 47-48,-48-48 47-48 (brass)] -5 5 -4 -4 (-4) 5 [-48] Go there, turn on the light -8 -4 5 -4-4 Hey, all the lights 5' 5 -4 5' Come over here 5 5 -4 -4 Stand on that chair 5 5 -4 -4 Yeah, that's right -5 -5 5 -4 -6 5 5-4 Raise your arms up in the air (-48,-48-48 47-48) -3-4 5 -4 -4 -4 Now shake 'em (-48-48 47) -3 -4 -5 -5 5 -4 -4 You give me rea-son to live -3 -4 -5 -5 5 -4 5 You give me rea-son to live -3 -4 -5 -5 5 -4 -4 [47 47] You give me reason to live -6 6 -5 6 -4 -4 5' You give me rea-son to live [3 -3-3'-3 -1 2 3 -3-3'-3 -1 2-2" brass riff- I poss)] -6 -6 6 Sweet darl-ing, [47 47 47 -47 (brass)] -234 -234 -345 -123 345 -234 (choeurs) (you can leave your hat on) -4 -4' -5 -4 5 -4 You can leave your hat on [47, 47 47 47 -47] -234 -234 -345 -123 345 -234 (you can leave your hat on) -4 -4' -5 -4 5 -4 You can leave your hat on [47, 47 47 47 -47] -234 -234 -345 -123 345 -234 (You can leave your hat on) [47, 47 47 47 -47] -234 -234 -345 -123 345 -234 (You can leave your hat on) 5 -5 5 5 -3 5 -4 Sus-picious minds are talkin' -6 6 -5 -6 -4 -4 6 -4 They're tryin' to tear us a-part -5 5-4 -5 5-4 -5 5-4 -4 -4 -4 5 They don't be-lieve in this love of mine -3 -4 -4 -3 5 -3 They don't know what love is -3 -4 -5 5 5 -4 They don't know what love is [14-14-25-14-25-14 14 -14 (brass)] 4 -4 -5 5 5 -4 They don't know what love is [14-14-25-14-25-14 14 -14] -6 6 6 6 -4 -5 They don't know what love is [47-48-59-48-59-47 47-48, 74] -6 6 -5 6 -4 -4 5' Yeah, I know what lo-ve is [3 -3-3'-3 -1 2 3 -3-3'-3 -1 2-2" (brass riff- I poss)] -6 -6 6 6 There ain't no way [47, 47 47 47 -47] -234 -234 -345 -123 345 -234 (choeurs) (You can leave your hat on) 4 -4' -5 -4 5 -4 You can leave your hat on [47, 47 47 47 -47] -234 -234 -345 -123 345 -234 (You can leave your hat on) 4 -4' -5 -4 5 -4 Give me rea-son to live [47, 47 47 47 -47] -234 -234 -345 -123 345 -234 (You can leave your hat on) 4 -4' -5 -4 5 -4 You can leave your hat on ***repeat 3X*** [47, 47 47 47 -47] -234 -234 -345 -123 345 -234 (You can leave your hat on) [3 -3-3'-3 -1 2 3, -3-3'-3 -1 2-2" (I)]... ***stop with*** [47, 47 47 47 69]
