Hey There Delilah Harmonica Tabs & Chords

Hey There Delilah Harmonica Tabs & Chords

Hey There Delilah by Plain White T's is five beginner chords and a C harmonica. No capo, standard tuning. The chords are C, Em, Am, F and G7, plus a G7sus2 variation where your pinky lands on the second string, third fret. What makes this song special is the picking pattern: two fingers stay on strings 2 and 3 while your thumb moves between strings 5 and 6. The tutorial walks through every chord change, then you play the progression at 85 BPM and la-la the melody over it so you can hear the song while your hands work.

The harmonica melody sits on holes 4, 5 and 6, and you learn it at 85 BPM first. Then it is the Air Guitar drill at 95 BPM: you mime the picking pattern while playing the melody, so your hands learn the movement before the strings are allowed back in. Only then do both parts go together in the full play-along.

The practice worksheet puts the tabs and the guitar chords on one page, with a 3-day plan to get you playing. Download it below, print it, and play along with the video.
