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
