Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush - Harmonica Lesson & Tabs

Updated: Jun 2, 2025

Hello! In today's free beginner harmonica lesson we'll be playing the children's nursery rhyme 'Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush' on diatonic harmonica in the key of C. Grab your C harp and play along to the free harp tabs on the screen.


Did you know?

Mulberries do not actually grow on bushes. An earlier version of the song refers to a bramble bush, possibly changed to mulberry to avoid difficult alliteration.


Here are the harp tabs to 'Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush':
