The original version of this song sounds right but you cannot play it
with another instrument for it is in the wrong key. I worked this tab

And turn rob-ber all on the salt sea.
The lot it fell first upon Henry Martin,
The youngest of all the three;
That he should turn robber all on the salt sea,
Salt sea, salt sea.
For to maintain his two brothers and he.
He had not been sailing but a long winter’s night
And a part of a short winter’s day,
Before he espied a stout lofty ship,
lofty ship, lofty ship,
Come abibing down on him straight way.
Hullo! Hullo! cried Henry Martin,
What makes you sail so nigh?
I’m a rich merchant ship bound for fair London town,
London Town, London Town
Would you please for to let me pass by?
Oh no! Oh no! cried Henry Martin,
That thing it never could be,
For I am turned robber all on the salt sea
Salt sea, salt sea.
For to maintain my two brothers and me.
Come lower your topsail and brail up your mizz’n
And bring your ship under my lee,
Or I will give you a full canon ball,
canon ball, canon ball,
And your dear bodies drown in the salt sea.
Oh no! we won’t lower our lofty topsail,
Nor bring our ship under your lee,
And you shan’t take from us our rich merchant goods,
merchant goods, merchant goods
Nor point our bold guns to the sea.
Then broadside and broadside and at it they went
For fully two hours or three,
Till Henry Martin gave to her the deathshot,
the deathshot, the deathshot,
And straight to the bottom went she.
Bad news, bad news, to old England came,
Bad news to fair London Town,
There’s been a rich vessel and she’s cast away,
cast away, cast away
And all of her merry men drowned

Look out, cause here she comes.
-4 -4 -4 -4 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 6 -6 6
Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearby
5 6 -5 5 -4
Awaiting a word
-4 -4 -4 -4 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 6 -6 6
Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit he runs
6 6 -5 5 6 5
Wishing he could fly
5 -4 5 4 4 4 4 4 5 5 -5 5 -4 4
Only to trip at the sound of good bye——–
-4 -4 -4 -4 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 6 -6 6 5
Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders
5 6 6 6 -5 5 -4
At the empty place inside
-4 -4 -4 -4 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 6 -6 6 5
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he worries
5 6 6 -5 5 6 5
Did he hear a good-bye?
5 4 4 4 5 -4 4 -4
Or even hello——-?
4 4 5 -4 4
They are one person
4 5 6 -6 6 6
They are two alone-
4 4 5 5 -4 4
They are three together
4 5 6 5 -4 4
They are for each other
-4 -4 -4 -4 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 6 -6 6 5
Stand by the stairway you’ll see something certain to tell you
5 6 6 6 -5 5 -4
Confusion has its cost
-4 -4 -4 -4 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 6 -6 6 5
Love isn’t lying it’s loose in a lady who lingers
6 6 -5 5 6 5
Saying she is lost
5 4 4 4 4 5 -4 4 -4
And choking on hello——-
4 4 5 -4 4
They are one person
4 5 6 -6 6 6
They are two alone-
4 4 5 5 -4 4
They are three together
4 5 6 5 -4 4
They are for each other

Unplugged version is in C, other versions usually in D.
This is the harp intro as played on the album “Unplugged”

This is the harmonica intro to Neil Youngs & The Bands live version of
Helpless on The Last Waltz. There is also a harmonica part in the
middle of the song wich is pretty similar to the intro.

Notes:
4>=Blow note
4=Draw note
I tabbed out this on a key E harmonica but that’s definately not the
key Neil Young uses, I think he plays it in the key of C.
I think that Neil bends some of the “6” notes.
This is the intro of the song : Helpless by Neil Young and the Band for the Last Waltz. (”They got it now Robbie”)
This is my first tab. Hope you’ll enjoy it.
-4 =(draw)
4 =(Blow)
4 > 5 = (Bend)

There is a town in north Ontario,
7 10 -9 -9 -9 10 9 9 9 9_
With dream comfort memory to spare,
7 10 -9 -9 -9 10 9 9 9 9 9
And in my mind I still need a place to go,
10 -9 -9 10 -9 9 9_
All my changes were there.
10 10 -9 -9 -9 10 -9 -9 9 9
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
7 10 -9 -9 -9 10 9 9 9 9_
Yellow moon on the rise,
7 10 -9 -9 -9 10 9 9 9 9 9
Big birds flying across the sky,
10 -9 -9 10 -9 9 9_ 9 -9
Throwing shadows on our eyes. Leave us
10 10 -9 -9 10 -9 9 9_
Helpless, helpless, helpless
10 -9 -9 -9 -9 10 9 9_
Baby can you hear me now?
7 10 -9 -9 -9
The chains are locked
-9 10 9 9 9 9
And tied across the door,
10 -9 -9 10 -9 9 9 9 9 -7
Baby, sing with me somehow.
