This is, I think, a fun practice piece to play around on, just clean blow/draw notes, it involves no bends and is played at a brisk pace. I have also included some tongue blocking in the chorus. Alternatively you can just play the melody here which are the higher value notes in the brackets. I have worked out the tab as follows:-

+4=blow hole 4; -4= draw hole 4; etc., (+2+5)=blow holes 2&5 whilst tongue blocking holes 3&4; (-1-4) draw holes 1&4 whilst tongue blocking holes 2&3 etc.,

Harmonica key = C
