Thomas Balinger Chromatic Harmonica Songbook Shanties & Songs of the Sea The endless sea has always inspired fascinating tales of far-away lands, treasures hidden on exotic islands and dangerous storms. And of course it has spawned its own kind of music: The shanties – songs of the wind and the waves, of the hard work onboard a ship and of the loved ones waiting at home, sometimes in vain. This collection contains shanties known and loved all over the world arranged for easy Chromatic Harmonica in C. Along with the „classics“ like Banks of Sacramento, Blow the man down or What shall we do with the drunken sailor you’ll also find some songs not as common and even some you might never have heard before. This book is aimed at the beginning to intermediate player. To make playing the songs a s easy as possible they feature additional harp tablature for 12 channel models. This handy form of notation enables you to start playing right away even if you don’t know how to read music. There are chord symbols on every song, so you can have a friend playing Piano, Guitar, Ukulele or another chord instrument play along. Songs: 1. A drop of Nelson’s blood 2. All for me grog 3.
