The record is in the key of "E", but because the riff
 has a D natural, you have to play it on an A harp. 
Everything is pretty straight forward.  I broke the 
phrasing up into three sections where you should be 
taking a breath before each.  This is a good exercise for single note clearity.

 
-8 -8  8 -8  7 -7  (I once had a girl)
-6  7 -7  6          (or should I say)
-5  7  5 -4           (she once had me)
