It was played on a chromatic harmonica by Toots Thielemans. I saw this tab a year or so ago in which is now our Message Board Archives-

If you're willing to look, it's there someplace. You might try a search from our SITE MAP page search engine.

Good luck,

   I've figured out the main tune of the song (the beginning) and can play a bit of the rest of the song, But I don't know how to tab chromatic harmonica, don't know the symbols, if somebody can show me an example, than I would be happy to tab the part of the song I figured out.

Martijn,

Use our standard tab notation as displayed on the Forums Main page and add parentesis around a note that needs the button depressed. For example:

C Blues Scale (on a standard "C" chromatic)

5B (5D) 6D (6D) 7B (7D) (8D)

Actual notes: C Eb F Gb G Bb C

Good luck,
Dave Gage

   This is what i've come up with,
I have to comment that in the begin part and in some of the later part there is a bend between the two similar tones, for example
between 5D and 5D there is some sort of bend, but you'll here in the song.
Enjoy it

5D 5D, 5B 5B, 4D 4D, 3B 3B, (3D) (3D), 3D 3D, 3B 3B, 2D 2D
5D 5D, 5B 5B, 4D 4D, 3B 3B, (3D) (3D), 3D 3D, 3B 3B, 2D 2D
5D 5D, 5B 5B, 4D 4D, 3B 3B, (3D) (3D), 3D 3D, 3B 3B, 2D 2D
5D 5D, 5B 5B, 4D 4D, 3B 3B, (3D) (3D), 3D 3D, 3B 3B, 2D 2D

3B{sus} 3D 3B 3B{sus} 2D 2B 2D{sus}
2D---4B 4B 4B 4B 4B (4B) 4B 4D{sus}
3B{sus} 3D 3B 3B{sus} 2D 2B 2D{sus}
2D---4B 4B 4B 4B 4B (4B) 4B 5D{sus}
6B{sus} 5B 5B 5B 5B{sus} 5D{sus}
(5D){sus} 5B 5B 5B 5B (5b) 5B 4D{sus}

PS dave thnx for the notation advice

martijn,

Great job. I was going to do this if you didn't, but you came through beautifully. By the way, when we complete the re-design for this site that we are smack-dab in the middle of, our Tabs section will also include some tabs for chromatic including this one.

Good luck,
Dave Gage
