In honor of Dr. Suess's birthday, I'd like to see one of you with the time and means of recording to play 'You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch' on harmonica, and post it here. I haven't even attempted it to know if you can pull it off on one(diatonic)harp. I'm stuck at work and thought that song played on harp would be a great tribute to the man who wrote tons of books for kids to enjoy. I know I liked them as a child, and my kids all enjoyed them as well.

Here's the original tune for reference:



Go.

I'm not sure what to do in the parts where the vocal switches over to sort of spoken word. I'm having fun playing along in first position on my G harp though.

Just had time for the first little bit of the melody.
Needs work.
