Using a diatonic harp played in second position, start on the 2 hole draw playing over the 1 chord.  The intro can be played nicely on the lowest octave 
with bends on the 3 hole draw.  When playing the intro on the middle octave, it's nice to tongue block and play the octaves (starting on blow holes 3 & 
6).  I usually use a country tuned harp (hole 5 draw tuned up a half step), which avoids the necessary overblow on the 5 hole, when played in the higher 
octave on a standard diatonic harp.
