Dont know if it helps - but I can play it on guitar and you go from the e minor to the e major chord with a hammer on trill from the g to g sharp note.
I guess you could pre bend the 3 draw for the same effect-
as nirvana plays it its mix of the e- em thing, a chord, g chord

Start on the 4 hole blow. You're going to need to make good use of the 5 draw, slide into bent, and the 4 bend too.
This should get you started- (watch the intonation on the 4 bend)- Personally, I usually grab a minor harp, but if you get that 4 bend pitched right it will sound nice on a major. Here it is on a major tuned harp
(Corrected to actually reflect what I was playing, since apparently I can't count the holes on my harmonica. :)

Okay, why am I playing a minor tune in first position? Oops, I counted wrong...
I started on the 3B, not the 4. Still playing it in a different position than JInx. I'm more familiar with the Nirvana cover.

I'm not sure what position nacoran is in, but I tabed it in 2nd. Also, I don't hear it as a minor tune.

I could be wrong. I was working on memory off the Nirvana version and I didn't write out the notes to see what key I had and I wasn't sure if I'd gotten all the way to the resolve. Are you working off the Leadbelly or Nirvana version? (Or the Dolly Parton version!)

My intonation is off on the 3 bend. Oh well. I'm off to see my shrink! Maybe I'm just crazy. :)

A good reference book which contains tabs in 2nd,3rd,4th @ 5th position for 'In The Pines' is the Jon Gindick book called 'Bluesify Your Melody'.
I play it sometimes at bluegrass jams but I learnt it by ear as I hate using tabs. Tabs are sometimes handy as a starting reference.

JInx, thanks. I was worried the 3d bend sounded uneven with the rest of it.
I think I'm in 3rd position, but I could be wrong (on my D harp, it's what I had nearest to the computer). It lays out really easily in 1st on a minor tuned harp.
