Chords: Baby It's Cold Outside (F Loesser)

I've got the lyrics, but I'd love to have chords for "Baby It's Cold Outside." I could probably work out something reasonable, but I always suspect that these older pop songs have some unusual chords that I won't think of, and sometimes those chords add a lot to the color of the accompaniment. Can anyone please help? Thanks.

I just spotted this on the way out the door, and I haven't time right now to post the chords--if it helps, the song is written in Key of F--goes through the F-f6-fmaj7 thing, then pops up to Gm7 and does the Gm7 to C7 thing--goes to the subdominant, Bb minor, and back--no surprises--it does just what your ear tells you--

If I get back early, and nobody else has done it, I'll post them tonite--

Thank you both. I'll try the chords on that site, Masato. I'm also still interested in seeing what you have, M.Ted, if you get an opportunity to post them.

Here they are:

C7||F F6/Fmaj7 F6/G-7 C7/G-7 C7/

/F F6/Fmaj7 F6/F9 f9/F9 F9/

Bb6 Bb6/Bb6 Bb6/G-7 C7/G-7 C7/

F F6/Fmaj7 F6/G7G7/G7C7/

/F F6/F^7 F6/G-7 C7/G-7 C7/

F F6/Fmaj7 F6/F9 f9/F9 F9/

Bb6 Bb6/F6 F-6/G7 G7/C7sus7C7/

F6 Eb7sus/D7 D7/G7C7/

(1st ending)/C7 C7/

(2ndending) Fmaj7 Fmaj7||



Play two downstrokes for each chord--it used to be called the "Society Beat" and actually is a Foxtrot--If you misremember the melody, the chords will not sound quite right---I know this because I played them and tried to sing it without really reading the melody--When I went back and actually read the melody, they were fine--
