Updated: Oct 22, 2021

In this harmonica lesson I'll teach you to play the classic Louis Armstrong song 'What a Wonderful World' on a C diatonic harmonica.

Here are the harp tabs to 'What a Wonderful World':

Verse 1:

-2 -3 4 4 6 -6 -6-6 6
 
I see trees of green, red roses too
 
-5 -5 -5 5 -4 -4 -4 4
 
I see them bloom for me and you
 
4 4 4 4 4 4
 
And I say to myself
 
4 4 -3 4 -4 5
 
What a wonderful world


 
Verse 2: Repeat until last line. Substitute -

4 4 -3 4 -4 -4 4

Bridge:

4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -2
 
The colors of the rainbow
 
-2 -5 5 5 4 5
 
So pretty in the sky
 
4 -4-4 -4 -4 -4 -2
 
Are also on the faces
 
-2 -5 5 5 4 5
 
Of people passing by
 
5 6 -6 -6 -6 6
 
I see friends shaking hands
 
5 6 -6 -6 -6 6
 
Saying how do you do
 
-6 -6 -6 6 6 -5 5 -4
 
They’re really saying, I love you

Verse 3:

-2 -3 4 4 6 -6 -6-6 6
 
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
 
-5 -5 -5 5 -4 -4 -4 4
 
They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know
 
4 4 4 4 4 4
 
And I think to myself
 
4 4 -3 4 -4 5
 
What a wonderful world

5 5 5 4 -4 4
 
Yes, I think to myself
 
4 4 -3 4 -4 -4 4

What a wonderful world
