There are plenty of tabs to blues standards in the store on this very site. Adam also provides videos to help you work through the tab. I've never downloaded one, but after reading previous threads on this forum and seeing Adam's excellent work in his videos I think they'd be well worth a shot. Just click 'The Store' in the menu on your left and see if anything appeals to you.
I'd like to add, however, that although tabs can be useful, there's no better way for getting you familiar and intimate with the notes on your harp than good old fashioned listening and imitating. All you really need are your harp and your ears. Also, when a blues method cd/book etc includes simple songs like Happy Birthday or Oh Suzanna it is not because the author thinks that you really want to play those songs. They are included because learning to play them will give you the feel of the scales used and get you moving around the harp. Don't underestimate or ignore those simple tunes.

Hi Bro Lee-E solid advise Bro I think every Harp player should learn these simple songs allso for the exact same reason you gave,,when asked what songs to learn i allways offer Oh when the saints go marching in and a simple 12 bar Walking Blues then learn to run.ie speed it up a bit these simple tunes will give you a good solid ground base to build your Harp playing from,,the 12 bar will get you jamming quicker with friends and make playing and learning much more fun,,those simple tunes Oh Susana,,oh when the saints go marching in,,Little Brown jug,,this Little Light of Mine and many more can be spiced up a bit more when you start to learn Tonue Slapping later down the track..
