Night Owl Blues (for the 6 incl Aussie!) Harmonica Tab

Hey Y’all from the Tin Man

Well Folks if you liked or loved the song and my tab “Look What You’ve
Done, or your one of the 6 (Aussie you BASTEEERRRDD flea bitten
Varmint!!! included)that requested that I do this tab. Well then here
it is & your gonna go NUTS for this one.

To introduce it
The Harpist is John Sebastian (leader singer and harpist of the 60’s
Rock Group THE LOVIN SPOONFUL. This was a b side Vinyl instrumental to
one of their big hits, “What A Day For A Daydream”.
If you are unfamiliar with it then I implore you to go to YOUTUBE and
type in Lovin spoonful NIGHT OWL BLUES and be blown away people!!! You
can also find “Look What you’ve done” by the rolling stones there or
download them also from something like Limewire. If you’re a Lovin Fan
then there are two others; Jug Band Intro and of course “lonely” Amy’s
Theme from the movie. If you want the tab to that one look up Aussie’s
Tabs as he has already done “Lonely” (thanks Aussie it was wonderful)

OKAY LETS GET TO IT
This is a Cross Harp song the band is in the key of A so you are gonna
need a D HARP TO PLAY THIS!!!!

this track is just 1:45 of NON STOP HARMONICA which posed several
challenges in tabulating. Basically folks what I’ve done is try to
break the riffs down in segments and each line of my tab is a Riff!!

If you all bare with me, I’m gonna make audio for you folks, where
I’ll break down the riffs for you and how to play it. Think of it as
an instructional to help you through this one. but i wont do the whole
song just key and difficult bits. ive posted two already to deal with
the opening riff. Ill post more as i get time!

Ohh and one last thing, as I stated in the forum post
I’VE DONE THIS BY EAR SO GIMME A BREAK !!!!!
o= overblow
fsb= FULL STEP BEND
hsb= HALF STEP BEND
dwah= to dwah means to put a tiny bend on it, start clean go slightly
bent and come back! i find it’s best achieved by saying DWAH on the
inbreath some people call it scooping

warble= shake your head NOT your hands between two notes!

HERE IT IS !!!!
