Moon River (with bends) free Harmonica Tabs & Lesson

Hello! In today's harmonica lesson we're looking at Moon River (by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer) on a C harmonica. This was made famous by Audrey Hepburn in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'. This version of the lesson is for improvers and intermediates and contains bends on holes 2 and 3.


Here are the harp tabs:


-2 -4 4 -3 -3// -2 -2// -2

Moon river, wider than a mile

1 -3 -3// -2 -2// -2 1 -1

I'm crossin' you in style some day

2 1 -2 2 -1 1 -2 2

Old dream maker, you heartbreaker

-1 1 2 -2 4 -3 -3// -3 -3// -2 -3//

Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way


-2 -4 4 -3 -3// -2 -2// -2

Two drifters, off to see the world

1 -3 -3// -2 -2// -2 1 -1

There's such a lot of world to see

2 1 2 -2 4 -4 4 -2

We're after the same rainbow's end

-3 -3// -2 -2// -2

Waitin' round the bend

1 -3 -3// -2 -2// -2

My huckleberry friend

1 -2// -1 2 1

Moon River and me


Thanks for studying with me today. I hope you enjoyed learning this song!
