If I'm right.. you still need to overblow the 6th hole and overdraw the 7th
in a major tuned diatonic harp... on the bridge, here's a tab:
(play it using a C# harp).

3'' 4 5 +6 6' 6 6' +6 5
3'' +4 4 +5 5 +5 4 +4 4 +4 4 +4 3'' 2 3''

3'' 4 5 +6 6' 6 6' +6 5
3'' +4 4 +4 4 +4 3'' 2 3'' +5 5 +5 4 +4 4

Bridge with 6 overblow and 7 overdraw...!!!
+7 7 +7 7o 8 9 8 6o +6
6 6o 7 +7 +8 +7 6 5 +6
6' 6 6o 8 6o +6 +5 5 +6
6' 6 6' 6 6o +7

bis...

(notation 6' half step draw bend, 3'' whole step draw bend, 6o 6 overblow
7o 7 overdraw)...

well maybe I'm wrong... I'm not getting this from a written score, only a
midi file... but sounds like the original.

I preffer the 4th position version, I like the blow bends it uses, but you
need a Low F# harp to play in Eb and sound good... But you can use a G harp
an play it in E.


Bye,
Javier.
