Welcome to the forum!

I hadn't heard that song before but it sounds cool and I'd like to learn it too.

As a beginner myself my ability to get the key of the song right is still limited, but it sounded to me like it was in A.

A quick bit of googling suggests it is in A but I'm sure one of the more experienced players will be able to confirm or correct it. I'm assuming second position on a D harp? It's a train rhythm kind of thing so I think you could do something in that vein and still fit in with the song even if it's not exactly what's played on the track.

I also read that former Manfred Mann frontman Paul Jones played the harp on this track.

Hope that's some help and good luck with it.
