Oh Shenandoah tabs

Oh Shenandoah is a gorgeous melody, very evocative, with a feeling of longing and homesickness (in a good way) that you can hear in the melody even if you don't know the lyrics.

If you keep this feeling of longing and wide-open-spaces as you are playing these Oh Shenandoah tabs, you'll get it right.

One thing to look for: the word "Way" is broken up melodically, the first time into three syllables, the 2nd time into four
- that's why you see the lyrics in the Oh Shenandoah tabs broken up phonetically as they are below. 

Here's the Oh Shenandoah tabs played on a C diatonic harmonica:

OH SHENANDOAH

  3     4      4     4   -4   5    -5   -6             
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you, 

6     7-7 -6     6     -6    6     5  6 
wa-aa-ay, you rolling river,

 6      -6    -6   -6     5   6     5    -4           
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,

4    3  4   -4 5 
wa-aa-aa-aay,  

4           5     -6  6
we're bound away,
 
  4       5   5     5      4   -4    4
ah Cross the wide Missouri.

Here it is again played guitar/harmonica (harmonica in a rack) by E Matthew Shelton
Please note: This is played on a key of G harmonica, guitar in G, and there is some improvising of the melody
