On Top Of Old Smokey Harmonica Tab
(Unknown)
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.
4 4 5 6 7 -6 -6 -5 6 -6 6
On top of old Smo - key, all cov - ered with snow
4 4 5 6 6 -4 5 -5 5 -4 4
I lost my true lov-er, from court-ing too slow.
4 4 5 6 7 -6 -6 -5 6 -6 6
Now court-ing is pleas-ure, and part-ing is grief,
6 6 4 5 6 6 -4 5 -5 5 -4 4
And a false heart-ed lov-er is worse than a thief.
4 4 5 6 7 -6 -6 -5 6 -6 6
A thief will just rob you, and take what you have
4 4 5 6 6 -4 5 -5 5 -4 4
A false heart-ed lov-er will lead you to the grave
4 4 5 6 7 -6 -6 -5 6 -6 6
The grave will de-cay you, and turn you to dust
6 6 4 5 6 6 -4 5 -5 5 -4 4
Not one boy in a hun-dred a poor girl can trust
4 4 5 6 7 -6 -6 -5 6 -6 6
They hug you and kiss you, and tell you more lies
4 4 5 6 6 -4 5
Than cross-ties on the rail-road,
-5 5 -4 4
or stars in the sky
4 4 5 6 7 -6 -6 -5 6 -6 6
So come all young maid-ens, and list-en to me
6 6 4 5 6 6 -4
Ne-ver place your af-fect-ions
5 5 -5 5 -4 4
on a green will-ow tree
4 4 5 6 6 -4
The leaves they will whit-her,
5 -5 5 -4 4
the roots they will die
4 4 5 6 6 -4 5 -5 5 -4 4
You'll all be for-sa-ken, and nev-er know why.
