This version of the lesson is for advanced beginners and intermediate harmonica players as it contains bends on holes 2 and 3. To learn the beginner version of this melody, click here.

Here are the harp tabs:

-2 -4 4 -3 -3// -2 -2// -2

Moon river, wider than a mile

1 -3 -3// -2 -2// -2 1 -1

I'm crossin' you in style some day

2 1 -2 2 -1 1 -2 2

Old dream maker, you heartbreaker

-1 1 2 -2 4 -3 -3// -3 -3// -2 -3//

Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way

-2 -4 4 -3 -3// -2 -2// -2

Two drifters, off to see the world

1 -3 -3// -2 -2// -2 1 -1

There's such a lot of world to see

2 1 2 -2 4 -4 4 -2

We're after the same rainbow's end

-3 -3// -2 -2// -2

Waitin' round the bend

1 -3 -3// -2 -2// -2

My huckleberry friend

1 -2// -1 2 1

Moon River and me
