The first time ever I saw your face #2 Harmonica Tabs

1962c. This song performed by many, and all I’ve heard leave out the
last 5 measures of verses 1,2,3 and after 3rd verse go on to another 9
measures as notated in this version. I have tabbed this from sheet
music and have changed the odd Bb note here and there.
