StJames Infirmary tab
By request 5-2009 from Joanne
My version , as I learned it. 
( there are several notes that can be substituted and it still sounds good)
3rd position Diatonic,example:use a G harp for the key of A minor
I did not see a published tab for 3rd position for this song, I consider this the easiest way to play it.
