Slowpoke - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Looking Forward (G)

Be advised that the notes for the solo’s are not spaced as you hear them and they are listed as single notes. 
You will need to play the harmonica solo’s loosely to capture more of a chord sound and space accordingly.
Also, some notes may have a slight bend.
Have fun!! As always, send me a message if changes are needed.
