Best I can tell this song is in...Ab ?? I don't have a harp to cover this in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd position....is there any other way I can cover it with one of the harps I have ?
Thanks

Do you want to cover it or jam with the recording?
If you just want to cover it, change the key to one you have.

I'm with Shanster, change the key of song if you can. Maybe to the key of A then grab a D harp or key of G then grab a C harp and you're back in business.
Or if you wanna try 12th position and you have an Eb harmonica that would work, your root is 2d", 5d, 9d.
If you need Ab and you're missing keys F#, Db, Ab, & Eb then do it with chromatic. Ab blues scale on chromatic I believe is (where + is button in, - button out): 3b+, 4d-, 4b+, 5d-, 7b-, 7b+ (repeat the same pattern in the next octave to get the rest).
Or maybe it's time to buy a new harmonica :) .
