Tab notations:
none = blow    - = draw    * = button in
-1*_-2* = slur; slide smoothly from note to note,
          as if to slur all the notes together as one.

requires a second person as The Fox is singing while
the lead person is holding a sustained note.
. = on lower register (first 4 holes on a 16 hole OR

    an octave high.
