Does anyone know the complete tabs for Rock Around The Clock?

Welcome aboard rockartguy. See if these tabs are any good. There were several versions in different positions, but this sounds closest to the way Hakan plays it (and the original) to my ear.
https://www.harptabs.com/song.php?ID=3773
I think he's playing 4 blow, 4 draw, 5 draw instead of the 4/5/6 blow sequences on the intro (I think the tab has it wrong.)
Generally speaking you can find tabs easier on tab sites. While a lot of guys here can pick a song out by ear figuring out which holes you are playing and taking the time to write it out is a pain in the butt, so most of the time someone might just tab out the first few notes to get you started and encourage you to pick it out by ear. Even though I'm giving you a link to tabs, I'd encourage you to try to pick as much out by ear as possible.
(Your results may vary!)

That was quite good, nacoran. Tell me, are you doing overblows to get those accidentals, particularly that upper register Bb you held?

Nate's not in the video--that's Hakan Ehn.
The note at 2:05 is an overblow. And pretty darned good!
And now a word or two from Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Yeah, I can kind of loosely play along with Hakan's version, but not at a performance level. I commented on his video and mentioned someone was looking for tips on it. Maybe he'll stop in. He does from time to time.
(Man I wish I could play as well as Hakan! I can, with some practice, get a the notes down like that, and maybe even get parts of it to sound right, but I can't seem to put the whole thing together like that.)
Gnarly, I've heard that poem set to music twice. Once was an arrangement the choir I was in did in high school (oh those many moons ago) and the other was a totally different version done by one of our local bands.

I like how Hakan treats that 3,4 inhale chord, flatting the minor third over the IV chord.
Well done.

Being that this is Adam's website, I think I should point out that Adam has a very good beginner level lesson for this song.
Tab and video available at Tradebit. See *The Store* link to the left. Beginner level, but Adam always swings!
