The harmonica, also known as a mouth organ or French harp, is a small wind instrument that anyone can play. It's as simple as blowing or drawing air through reed chambers while blocking or opening holes with the mouth and lips. It consists of a series of reed plates mounted in a comb-shaped body, each hole containing a reed tuned to a specific pitch. The harmonica's versatility and portability make it popular in various musical genres, including blues, folk, rock, and jazz. Our easy-to-follow tablature will help you master classic and modern hits. Unleash your musical talent and thrill your friends and family with your harmonica skills!

-10 -10 -10 -10 9 7 -8 -6 -6
Now the onl--y thing a gambler needs,
-10 -10 -10 -10 9 8 8
Is a suitcase and a trunk,
-10 -10 -10 -10 9 7 -8-6
And the o-nly time he'll be,
-6 -6 7 -6 -6 -6 6 5 6 -6
Sa-tisfied, is when he's a-ll a drunk.
-5 -6 -7 7 8 -8 -6
Oh mother tell your children,
-6 -10 -10 -10 9 8 8
Not to do what I have done.
10 -7 7 8 -8 -6 -6-6-6
Spend your lives in sin and misery,
-6 -6 -6 -6 6 5 6 -6
In the house of the rising sun.
{Word's} -10 -10 -10 9 7 -8 -6
Well I've got one foot on the platform.
-10 -10 -10 9 8 8
The other foot on the train.
-10 -10 -10 9 7 -8 -6 -6 7
I'm go--in' back to New Orleans,

To wear that ba-ll and chain.
