Battle Hymn of the Republic Harmonica Tab
(Julia Ward Howe, 1861)
Key: Any key Harmonica played in 1st Position.
Because of the way a diatonic harmonica is tuned you can play this song with any 10-hole harmonica that you have. However, if you want to jam along in tune with a recording, you will need a harmonica in the key of the recording for the tab below.
6 6 6 6 -5 5 6
Mine eyes have seen the glory
7 -8 8 8 8 -8 7
of the coming of the Lord;
7 -7 -6 -6 -6 -7 7 -7
He is trampling out the vintage
7 -6 6 -6 6 5 6
where the grapes of wrath are stored;
6 6 6 6 6 -5 5 6
He hath loosed the fateful lightning
7 -8 8 8 8 -8 7
of His terrible swift sword;
7 -8 -8 7 -7 5
His truth is marching on.
Chorus:
6 -5 5 6 7 -8 8 7
Glo-ry! Glo-ry! Hal-le-lu-jah!
-6 -7 7 -7 7 -6 6 5
Glo-ry! Glo-ry! Hal-le-lu-jah!
6 -5 5 6 7 -8 8 7
Glo-ry! Glo-ry! Hal-le-lu-jah!
7 -8 -8 7 -7 5
His truth is marching on.
