Turn on your Love Light - Chubby - key, box

My usual way of figuring out what key a song is in is to go to the end of the song and see what the ending note/chord is (using Transcribe).

On this song, seems like they end in F, then do a second ending in C. But I'm not sure.

So, I'm just guessing, is he playing a F/Bb/Eb box and playing primarily the middle row in second position with excursions off now and then.

I'm trying to pick out single notes from the song, but there's so much background sound, I'm not getting clear hits on notes using my slow down software, and I'm ending up playing along in GCF, just listening to positions, but, in some spots, I need to know the notes.

So, if someone could clue me in on the key, that would be great.
