Or is it a major seventh....I think it's a raised something--maybe a raised twenty third--yeah, that's the one!

I'm sure the refrain is root, 7th, root, 6th. But in the context it sounds like a harmonic key rather than a major. Also it's entirely possible that the violin, operating in that song as a "colour", is using a modal form as you can feel the sense of the music change when it comes in.
