This tab may have a few mistakes (bends that a C harp cannot play). If a line sounds wrong, tell us which one.
This plays the notes in order so you can hear how the tune goes. Tabs don’t record rhythm, so for the timing, listen to the original on YouTube. Tap any note in the tab to start from there.

My first tab, but I know that it is correct. I noticed that nobody has written this tab so I took it upon myself, mesiah like, to write it myself. xD b = bend Riff: -6b 6 -5 6 -6 6 -6 6 -5 6 -6b 6 -5 6 -6 6 -6 6 -5 7b 6 -5 6 -6 6 -6 6 -5 6 -6b 6 -5 6 -6 6 -6 6 -5 7 7 -6 -6 6 7 -6 6 5 -5 5 4 ^^ There is also a muted trumpet playing that, but there is a harmonica there. For the verse simply play a 12 bar blues sequence in D, which, simply, is: 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 -5 -5 -5 -5 4 4 4 4 6 6 6 6 -5 -5 -5 -5 4 4 4 4 Repeated throughout the verse. Feel free to repeat notes and bend notes but remember your accompanying the vocals. Solo: 4 4 -5 6b (hold 6) -6 7 -7 -6 6 -6 -5b (hold -5) 4 4 -5 6b -6 7 -7 8 -8b Hold 9b The structure is: Riff Verse Verse Verse Riff Verse Verse Harmonica Solo Verse Saxaphone Solo (harmonica plays verse, but you could do another Harp solo) Riff Riff Riff
