Jim's Giant Harmonica Songbook
Stranger On The Shore
9 9 -9 9 8 -9 8 7 -5
Here I stand watching the tide go out,
7 8 -9 8 -10 -8
So all alone and blue,
-6 -8 8 -9 -10 -7
Just dreaming dreams of you.
6 9 9 -9
I watched your ship
-9 8 -9 8 7 -5
as it sailed out to sea,
8 -9 8 -10 9
Taking all my dreams
8 -8 8 -9 -7 7
And taking all of me.
-9 9 -10 -10 9
The sighing of waves,
8 -8 8 -9 9 8
the wailing of the wind
7 -9 9 -10 -10 10 9 -9
The tears in my eyes burn pleading,
9 -10 10 9
"My love return."
9 9 -9 9 8 -9 8 7 -5
Why, oh why must I go on like this.
8 8 -9 8 -10 9 8 -8 8 -9 -7 7
Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore?
Note--This can be played in the lower octave
with fair accuracy, but you will have to keep
the -5 in the positions it appears to play it
straight harp. Example
6 6 -5 6 5 -5 5 4 -5
Here I stand watching the tide go out....
Try it. It's different.
