The Wellerman (TikTok Sea Shanty) - Harmonica Tabs

Hello! I've arranged 'Soon May the Wellerman Come' (which has become a viral hit on TikTok) for diatonic harmonica. This song has become popular with the recent sea shanty craze. I hope enjoy my version of it and I also hope the free tabs help you to learn it!

Here are the harp tabs for The Wellerman (Sea Shanty):

8 -6 -6 -6 -6 7 8 8 8

There once was a ship that put to sea

8 -9 -8 -8 -8 -9 -9 -10 -10 8 8
  The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea

8 -6 -6 -6 7 8 8 8
  The winds blew up, her bow dipped down

-9 -8 7 7 -7 -6
  Blow my bully boys blow

Soon may the Wellerman come

8 -9 -8 -8 -8 -9 -10 8 8
  To bring us sugar and tea and rum

-10 -10 -9 -9 9 9 8 8
  One day, when the tonguin' is done

8 -9 -8 7 -7 -6
  We'll take our leave and go
