Yellow by Coldplay | Free Harmonica Tabs & Lesson

Hello! In today's free harmonica lesson we're learning to play Yellow by British pop band Coldplay on a key of C diatonic harmonica. (The original track would require a B harmonica. You can follow the free harp tabs with a harmonica in the key of C or any other key.) There are a few bends so this is not ideal for beginner harmonica players although you can substitute some notes if you can't bend them.

Here are the harp tabs:
