This is the harmonica solo at around 3:55. I don't know if this is the proper way to 
tab harmonica, but it makes sense to me... Some of the fast bits, triplets and 
arpeggios are played really loosely by Chris, just muck around with what sounds right. 
Please submit any corrections, suggestions etc. - I've only just started playing 
harmonica, and I'm not actually able to play this right through! 

Tuning: C Harmonica
