I have always played by ear. I tried your version with number system and it worked well. Thank you. I will look for more from you. Errol

Thanks Nick, I play this in three different chords , by ear, on a C harmonica and sing and play on a Baritone ukulele but have never seen anyone teach as simply as you do. I am already, subscribed and following you on the G harp. Amazing!

Thanks for this much appreciated.

Thanks for explaining the key change.

Ewan MacColl wrote it and released it as a single in 1953.

The Original tune is played in D G and C. The C harp in first position is C second position is G and third position id D That would give you all three keys for the song on one harp.

Thank you thank you thank you. No more switching.

Hi Nick I like that version l will give it a go. thanks for being so generous with your free tabs. (Neil

Should be able to play using a C harp for all three keys. G in second position C in first and D in third. That way you keep the the Hap solo in a great octave and the G is not at the high end with the D as the Piuges play it. .

There's no 3rd position in this arrangement. The other position is 12th so on a C harmonica it will be F.

Is my harmonica broken or does it actually start on 4 draw not 3...

Thanks Paul. I'm not using a backing track. I just accompany myself on guitar.

Lovely. It would help me if you wrote in the sequences. I can’t write it down quick enough as your finger moves. Thanks

Hey Tony, there is also tab you can follow as an alternative way to learn the tune. Click on the link in the description to download it.

Hi Nick, just a small point could you put the draw notes on the bottom and the blow on Top,, it seams more natural this way. Thanks for the lesson.

Hi Malcolm, I am aware that a lot of people make these diagrams with blow notes on the top. I did try that but my brain is so use to thinking the other way that I couldn't give these lessons without going very slow or making mistakes. I hope it's not too much of an issue. I have also provided the tab to download as an alternative way to follow along. Cheers, Nick :-)

I'm playing a G harmonica. It looks like I might be playing a Hohner Rocket in that video. I play various brands of harmonica, mostly Hohner, Lee Oscar and Seydel.

Disculpas, puede decirme los acordes de la guitarra de este lindo tema. Le agradezco y felicita señor.

I am guessing that you reverse the harmonica to play Putting the draw notes at the top rather than the bottom But thanks anyway.

Yes, correct

WRONG! At 7.41. Should be 4 draw (A note) not 3 draw. Should be same as your tab. Thanks

I agree. It seemed to me that all the holes pointed at, from the start at 3:19 until the A note at 4:37, need to be moved up one place. From the F# at 4:38 everything seems to match. It’s a great arrangement though and a lot of fun to play. It’s good to try to play in different positions, other than the first, but without having to encounter the dreaded bend notes.
