Quick Note About the Song Levels

 All of the songs in this songbook require the skill to play single notes (the ability to play only onenote at a time). Because I consider playing single notes an intermediate level technique, even the simplest kids' songs will be rated at an intermediate level (essentially, I don’t

consider playing songs a beginning level skill). My DVDs are full of beginning level jams andexercises that are super fun, sound great and will ensure that you develop good habits bylearning to walk before you learn to run. I highly recommend you practice with my DVDsbefore playing the songs in this songbook (unless you feel confident that you are properlyusing the deep relaxed embouchure while playing single notes).

Introduction 

  CONGRATULATIONS!!! You’ve taken a huge first step in creating your dreams for playing the harmonica. I’m honored 

that you’ve given me this opportunity to support you on this musical journey.The way I look at it, we’re in this thing together.  If you succeed, I succeed! Since the majority of my students just want to play for their ownenjoyment, I define success as: The satisfaction YOU get when you play music that makesyou happy! Because I want you to succeed in enjoying the harmonica, I highly recommend thatyou play through my first few DVDs before trying to learn any of the songs in thissongbook. My experience teaching for twenty years has shown me that students have the highestlevel of success if they develop good habits prior to learning songs. Most harmonica

teachers encourage students to learn songs right away and I believe that this can be a recipefor failure. I’m confident that playing through my DVDs first will be the quickest way for you toplay the songs you love because you will develop the essential skills you need first… that way  you won’t get frustrated.  I have found that many students develop bad habits if they try to learn songs whenthey’re not yet ready. Many students are so eager to learn songs that they just can’t wait.  The choice is yours and I respect your free choice. If you're having fun learning songs andyou're staying relaxed, it’s probably fine, but if you're finding that you're struggling and getting frustrated please come back to learning songs after you’ve played through my DVDs first.

Suggestions For Learning Songs

 1. Use a 10-hole Diatonic Harmonica (that’s the most common 10-hole harmonica without

any fancy stuff or a button on the side). You can play all of the songs with any keyharmonica you choose. If you want to play along with a band or an original recording, you willneed to find out the key of the song and use the appropriate key harmonica (refer to the Blues

DVDs for understanding how to do this). 

2. If you’re trying to learn a song and it’s not going well, move on to a different song  that’s easier for you. I personally found many of the advanced songs in this songbook challenging,so I expect you may too. 

3. Instead of trying to learn lots of songs, you might find it helpful to focus your energyon one song that you love. Pick a song that is easy for you and play it over and over. Youmay even want to memorize it. Then you can surprise your friends and relatives when you’re ready (or just play it for your own enjoyment). I recommend you play the songs that you arefamiliar with and skip the ones you don’t know.  

4. FEEL FREE TO BE CREATIVE!!! When I learn songs, I always assume they’re not written 

exactly correct and I give myself the freedom to add my own touch. I like to use harmonicatablature as a guideline. For example, when the same note is played twice I sometimes like toplay it only once and sustain it with a soulful feeling. So, whether you’re playing the songs  from this songbook or if you're finding songs on the Internet, I recommend you give yourself the freedom to change the notes so they sound right to you. 

5. Be patient with yourself. If you are having difficulty playing the 2-draw hole or the 3-drawhole, you’re not alone. Most students find it very difficult to create a clear sweet note on these holes (so your harmonica is probably not broken. Refer to my DVD, Finally Learning to Bend,for extra support on these notes). Holes 8, 9 and 10 can also be very difficult. 

6. Use The Finger Trick. As explained on my DVDs, you can use the finger trick if you’re not  confident that you're on the right note. Quick Review: Use the pointer fingers (index fingers) of 

both hands to physically obstruct the undesired notes so that only the note you want to play isleft unobstructed. This trick still helps me sometimes, so I’m guessing it may help you too.        

For Educational Purposes Only All lyrics are the property and copyright of their owners.

All lyrics are provided for educational purposes only.They have been freely given and can only be freely passed on.These songs are to be used only in connection with your harmonica lessons.

How to Read Harmonica Tablature The easiest way to learn harmonica tablature is to study the examples below. They all involveplaying single notes (which means playing only one hole at a time). If you don’t already know  how to play single notes and to be able to confidently jump from one single note to the next, Irecommend playing with my DVDs before proceeding. When playing the harmonica tabs in this document, the key to the notes is as follows: 

1     means blow on hole number 1-1     means draw on hole number 1 4   means blow on hole number 4-4     means draw on hole number 4 45    means blow on hole number 4 and hole number 5 at the same time

-45   means draw on hole number 4 and hole number 5 at the same time 

 

 Bending

 (Refer to my DVD’s for deeper understanding and to be able to play these advanced techni ques)

   -2’ means play 2 draw bent down a half step

-2’’ means play 2 draw bent down two half steps-2’’’ means play 2 draw bent down three half steps

 Note: Some harp tabs use the letter b instead of the ' to represent levels of bending. Quiz: To see if you understand the chart above, here is a little quiz. What note would you play for the following examples? Example 1: 5Example 2: -7Example 3: -12Example 4: 9' Answers: Example 1:    5means blow on hole number 5Example 2:   -7means draw on hole number 7

Example 3:   -12means draw on hole number 1 and hole number 2 at the same time(Did you remember that, because we’re playing a 10-hole harmonica, there is no holenumber 12?)

Example 4:     9'means blow on hole number 9 and bend it down a half step

The stars are brightly shining, 6  5  -4  4     5  -5  6    -5 -4      4It is the night of the dear Sa-viour's birth. 5    5   5   6     6  -6  -6  -5 -6  7 6Long lay the world in sin and er-ror pining, 6    -5 5 -7     6   -6  -7   7    -7  5Till He appeared and the Soul felt its worth. 6 6      -6 -4    6   -6 6  7     5 -6 6A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices, 6   6  -6  -4     6 -6  6   7  5     6For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. 7    -7 -6   -7     -7  -8   -6  -6 -6  7  7Fall on your knees!

O night divine, O--- night, O- night di-vine.  

 Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,

With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.Over the world a star is sweetly gleaming,Now come the wisemen from Orient land.

The King of Kings lay in the lowly manger;

In all our trials he is to be our friend.

He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger.Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!

 Truly He taught us to love one another.

His law is love and His gospel is peace.Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.And in his name all oppression shall cease.

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,With all our hearts we praise His holy name.

Christ is the Lord! O praise his name forever,

His power and glory ever more proclaim!His power and glory ever more proclaim!

Frosty the snowmanknew the sun was hot that day,so he said lets run and we'll have some funnow before I melt away.Down to the villagewith a broomstick in his hand,

running here and there all around the squaresaying catch me if you can!He led them down the streets of townright to the traffic cop,and he only paused a moment whenhe heard him holler, Stop!For Frosty the snowmanhad to hurry on his way,but he waved goodbye, saying don't you cryI'll be back again someday.

It doesn't show signs of stopping

And I brought some corn for popping.

The lights are turned way down low.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

 

Refrain:

 

5  -5   6 -6  6   5   7    6

When we fi-nal-ly kiss good night

But if you'll real-ly hold me tight,

 

7  -7  -6   -7  -6   6   7

All the way home I'll be warm.

 

Verse 3:

 

The fire is slowly dying

And my dear we're still goodbying

But as long as you love me so,

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
