Peter:

If your harmonica is a Key of D, then your blow notes are:

	D F# A D F# A D F# A D

	from all of these notes, you can only play a D Major
	chord.  On the other hand, your draw notes are:

	E A C# E G B C# E G B
	* * * 			A triad, 2nd inversion
	* * *  *		A chord, 2nd inversion, doubled 5th
	  * *  *		A triad
	  * *  * *		A dominant 7th chord
	  * *  * * *		A 9th chord
	    *  * * *		C# half diminished 7th chord
	       * * *     	E minor triad
	      

I hope that this helps.
