The Thing Harmonica Tab

words and music by Charles Green
(Arthur Godfrey also had a hit with this song)

6 4 4 4 5 6 6 6
While I was walking down the beach

6 -6 -7 7 -6 6
one bright and sunny day,

6 4 4 4 5 6 6 6
I saw a great big wooden box

6 6 -4 -4 5 -4
a-floating in the bay.

6 4 4 4 5 6 6 6 6
I pulled it in and opened it up

6 -6 -7 7 -6 -7
and much to my surprise;

6 7 7 7 -7 -6 6 6 6
Oh, I discovered a – – -,

7 7 -8 -7 7
right before my eyes!

6 7 7 7 -7 -6 6 6 6
Oh, I discovered a – – -,

7 7 -8 -7 7
right before my eyes!

I picked it up and ran to town
as happy as a king,
I took it to a guy I knew
who’d buy most anything.
But his is what he holered at me
as I walked in his shop;
Oh, get out of here with that – – -,
before I call a cop.
Oh, get out of here with that – – -,
before I call a cop.

I turned around ang got right out,
a-running for my life,
And then I took it home with me
to give it to my wife.
But this is what she holldered at me
as I walked in the door;
Oh, get out of here with that – – -,
and don’t come back no more.
Oh, get out of here with that – – -,
and don’t come back no more.

I wandered all around the town
until I chanced to meet,
A hobo who was looking for
a handout on the street.
He said he’d take most any old thing,
he was a desperate man;
But when I showed him the – – -,
he turned around and ran.
But when I showed him the – – -,
he turned around and ran.

I wandered on for many years,
a victim of my fate.
Until one day I came upon
St. Peter at the gate.
And when I tried to take it inside,
he told me where to go;
Get out of here with that – – -,
and take it down below.
Get out of here with that – – -,
and take it down below.

The moral of this story is;
If you’re out on the beach,
and you should see a great big box,
and it’s within your reach,
Don’t ever stop and open it up,
that’s my advice to you.
‘Cause you’ll never get rid of the – – -,
no matter what you do.
Oh, you’ll never get rid of the – – -,
no matter what you do.
