This is a great song that I discovered recently, and it was Pete Drake's 
big hit in 1964. It uses an early version of the talk box, and Drake was 
the first person to use it with a steel guitar. The C's and F's are 
actually jazz chords, so if you want it to sound a little closer use 
a C6 and an F6, but the regular chords sound fine since you sing 
the 6ths.
