-7* 7 -5
Look at me,
-3* 4 5* 8 8 8 8 -7* 7 -5* 4
I’m as help-less as a kit-ten up a tree
3 3* 4 -5* 7 -7* -7*-7* 7* -7*
And I feel like I’m cling-ing to a cloud
7* 7 7* -7* -5*
I can’t un-der-stand,
-6 7 7* 5 5 -5 -5* -6 7
I get mis-ty just hold-ing your hand
-7* 7 -5
Walk my way,
-3* 4 5* 8 8 8 8 -7* 7 -5* 4
And a thou-sand vi-o-lins be-gin to play
3 3* 4 -5* 7 -7* -7* -7* 7*-7*
Or it might be the sound of your hel-lo
7* 7 7*-7* -5*
That mu-sic I hear,
-6 7 7* 5 5 -5 -5* -6 -5*
I get mis-ty the mo-ment you’re near

-5* -6 7 -7* 8 8* 8* 8* 8*
You can say that you’re lead-ing me on
8* -9* 10* -9* 8* 8 8 8 8
But it’s just what I want you to do
-5* -6 7* -7* 8 -9 -9 -9 9 -9
Don’t you no-tice how hope-less-ly I’m lost
-9 -9 9 -10 -9 8 -7*
That’s why I’m fol-low-ing you

-7* 7 -5

Would I wan-der thru this won-der-land a-lone
3 3* 4 -5* 7 -7* -7* -7* 7* -7*
Nev-er know-ing my right foot from my left
7* 7 7*-7* -5*

-6 7 7* 5 5 -5 -5* -6 -5*
I’m too mis-ty, and too much in love

9 8 -7
Look at me.

6 -6 -6 -10
I’m as helpless

-10-10-10 9 8 7 -6
as a kitten up a tree.

-6 -6 -6 7
And I feel like

8 9 9 9-9 9
I’m clinging to a cloud,

-9 8 -9 9 7
I can’t understand,

-8 8 -9-6 -6 -7 7 -8 8
I get misty just holding your hand.

Verse 2
Walk my way
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it miight be the sound of your hello
That music I hear, -8 7
I get misty the moment you’re near.

Refrain
4 -4 5 6 -6 -7 -7 -7 -7
You can say that you’re leading me on

7 7 -8 7 -7 -6 -6 -6 -6
But it’s just what I want you to do.

4 -4 5 6 -6 -7 -7 -7 -6 -7
Don’t you notice how hopelessly I’m lost

-7 -7 -6 -8 -7 -6 6
That’s why I’m following you.

Verse 3
On my own,
Would I wander through this wonderland alone,
Never knowing my right foot from my left,
My hat from my glove,
I’m too misty, and too much in love.

Use this tab as a guide to imitate the audio clip.

Two holes in parentheses (-3 -4) means play them both at the same
time.
Try not to get very much breath through the second hole, except in the
ending riff. The way I do this (We’re all different.) is to do a
Billy Idol sneer to reach over to the higher hole.

/ or indicates a slur.

By “Inhale” or “Exhale”, I mean to let a little puff of air in or out
with your lips barely touching the harp.

To get his vibrato, I do a kind of a nervous jiggle with my belly.

First verse:

Wail & moan on -4, at one point hitting -5 for a nano-second, then
gliss across -3 to -2 (hold the -2). Exhale.
-3 -4 -3 -2” -2 Exhale

Play the -3 with varying degrees of bend, then go up to -3 unbent and
down to -1.
Exhale -3 -4 -3 -2’ -2

He starts singing about something, here.

Second verse:

Now he does some more of that singin’.

-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4’ 5 4 (3 4) Inhale

-3 -4 (-3 -2) -2 -2
(Weak on -2)

More singin’.

Listen to the clip and imitate his degree of bends.

Singing again.
