Though there aren't any bent notes in the melody, we do need to play in the upper range of the harmonica.
If you have difficulties with the high notes, check your breathing.
Make sure you are breathing from deep down and keep your throat open.
Your shoulders are not required to play harmonica so keep them relaxed.
All the techniques required to master this classic are provided in the Harmonica Essentials curriculum of Harp N Guitar.
