THE HARP THAT ONCE chrom
W: Thomas Moore
Irish folk song
Key: A

-3   6    -6*  5*   5*  -6*  7*   -7
The harp that once thro’ Ta-ra’s halls
-6*  6   4* -4  4*  -3
Its soul of mu-sic shed
 6   -7   7*  -7  -8 -7  7*   -6*
Now hangs as mute on Ta-ra’s walls
6  -6* 6    -7   5*   6
As if that soul were fled
6    -7    7*  -7   -8 -7   7*  -6*
So sleeps the pride of for-mer days
6  -6*  6     -5   5* -6*
So glo-ry’s thrill is o’er
 7*   -7    7*  -6*   6    -6*  7*   -7
And hearts that once beat high for praise
-6*  6    5*   -4   4*  -3
Now feel that pulse no more.

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
