Carol of the Bells

The classic Christmas song.  I tabbed out the main line and the base line so you can arrange it however you see fit. For Solo play I would play Main Riff I(x4), then bass I(optional), then Main Riff II(x4), Main Riff III, then end with Main Riff I(x4).

Main Riff 
7 -7 7 -6 (x4 until bass line begins then x12 with bass line)

Bass Line 
-6 6 -5 5 (-6 -5) (6 5) (-5 -4) (5 4) -4 5 -4 -3"

Main Riff II
8 -8 8 7 

Bass Line II* ( | represents measures)
|5    |-5   |6  -5  5  |-6 6 -5  5 |

Main Riff III*
-10 -10 -10 9 -9 8 8 8 -8 7 -8 -8 -8 8 -8 -6 -6 
-6 -6 5 -5 6 -6 -7 7 -8 8 -8 7  5 -5 6 -6 -7 7 -8 8 -8 7

*Some notes in these parts may sound slightly off due to the inability to bend on these holes   

Then repeat main riff I some more and fade out

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