Famous birthday song especially at Russian parties :) Originally from the movie Cheburashka.

Original is in C-minor this one is transposed to A-Minor so that it can be played on a C-Major Tremolo.

The tab works with a tuning like this (frequently found on Tremolo Harmonicas):

	    1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|
Blow	C|E|G|C|E|G|C|E|G|C |
Draw	F|A|B|D|F|A|B|D|F|A |

Song:

 5 -5  5 -2 -3  4 -2
 5 -5  5 -3  4 -4  4
 5 -5  5 -3  4 -4  5 -5  5
-6 -7 -6  5 -5  6  5
-6 -7 -6 -4  5 -5 -6
 6 -5 -6  5  4 -3 -4  4 -2

-2  4  4 -3
-3 -4 -4  4
 4  5  5 -4
-5  5  6

 5  6  6 -5
-4 -5 -5  5
 4  5 -4  5 -2


East Asian tuning should work too, but needs to be shifted upwards one hole.

The tune can be played on a standard diatonic as well, if you can bend the 3 hole down for two half notes. Just use the same tab and replace the -2 with a -3&rsquo;&rsquo;
