Can anyone help me with the tab for this great song? I've part tabbed it myself, well I've got my ideas of what it is, don't know how accurate it is though. But I want to check my ears with you guys.

From one Grey to another :)
It is a very good discipline to do what you have done and try to work out songs by yourself because it trains you to listen well and find your way around the harp and it is undoubtably the best way to progress.
Tabs are useful when something is pretty complex and you need a helping hand, but they shouldn't be relied on because you will gradually discover you can't do without them.
It is also advisable when using tabs to learn and memorise sections of the tab until you know the song off by heart then ditch the tab because you can become much freer and more expressive in your playing.
I agree, it is a great old song by the Manfreds and Paul Jones the lead singer is a great british Blues man and harmonica player.
Here is the tab from what I heard. give or take.
Good luck.
ps I think it was Mark Knopfler who was challenged to play one of his guitar solos reading from a tab of his work (that had been tabbed accurately for publication)and he had to give up, he simply couldn't
do it!!
btw I hope this lays out ok on the page.

Thank you so much. You've filled a few gaps for me. This is my first attempt at tabbing 2nd position
I try to play along to this song. I've been chugging -123 and +234, and for the turnaround been doing 4bend release, bend again, then -3-2-2-1-1. It fits but thanks for putting me straight.
I'm going to play this till my dog leaves home, lol
