Check the "midi" link for an extended explanation, as well as playing along in the key of E using an A harp.

Note: 
Stevie uses a chromatic harp. I write this tab with an interpretation for the diatonic harp. The song is in the key of Bb, so you would need to play on an Eb harp in cross position.

Intro (Eb harp, cross position Bb):

-5   -5 +5 -4 +4 +4 -4 -3

+4 -3 +3 -2" -2" +4 -3

-5   -5 +5 -4 +4 +4 -4 -3

-3 +4   +4 -3 +3 -2" -2" -2" -2


Solo after 1st chorus:

-5   -5 +5 -4 +4 +4 -4 -3

+4 -3 +3 -2" -2" +4 -3

-5   -5 +5 -4 +5 +6 -6 -(6 7)*

+6 +5 -4 -3 -2" -2" -2

*If it were possible, I'd play a -7', but I can't. So I draw the (6 7) chord to try to simulate the proper note. Alternatively, try a +7.

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
