Hello, and happy St. George's Day! In today's harmonica lesson we'll be learning to play the hymn 'Jerusalem' using a diatonic harmonica in the key of C. I hope you enjoy the lesson!


Did you know? "And did those feet in ancient time" is a poem by William Blake from the preface to his epic Milton: A Poem in Two Books. The famous orchestration was written by Sir Edward Elgar.



Here are the tabs to Jerusalem:


4 5 6 -6 7 -6 6 -5 6 And did those feet, in an-ci-ent time -6 6 -5 6 5 -4 4 3 (-3//) Walk up-on England’s mountains green 4 5 6 -6 7 -7 -6 6 -6 And was the ho-ly lamb o-of God -6 -7 5 6 -5 (5*) 5 -4 6 On England’s pleasant pastures seen -4 -4 5 -5 -6 6 -4 -5 And did the coun-te-nance divine -4 -5 6 -6 7 -7 (6*) 6 -6 Shine forth up-on our clou-ded hills -5 -6 7 -8 7 -7 -7 -6 6 And was Je-ru-sa-lem build-ed here 6 7 -6 6 -6 5 -4 4

Among these dark sa-tan-ic mills
