Never mind what key the song is in--ask your friend what key he or she
is planning to play it in. There's no guarantee that your friend will
play it in the original key, especially if that key isn't good for your
friend's voice.
The solo is played in 2nd position, so get a harp tuned a perfect 4th
above the key your friend is going to play it in. For example, if your
friend is going to play the song in the key of E, get an A harp.
The solo starts with a shake on the draw 4 and 5 reeds, by the way.
