Most country/rock/pop harp stuff is played in "second position", that is the song has one more cross symbol (or one less flat symbol for that matter) than the harp. He's playing in G (actually Em), so second position would be a C harp. I wasn't able to recreate the melody with my C harp (but I have little to no harp experience), so he might be playing in first position (G harp).
How could Collin melloy possibly recieve 2 dislikes with this?! This exactly what I would expect from a youtube video called 'Colin Meloy - Down By The Water (Live on KEXP)'
His first album was the chronic.

Most wind instruments tend to be in C, as it's the most popular. I think that's the safest bet.

@TheFallEffect C would be right if he was playing in C.

I like how he lets the low E string just ring no matter the chord.

@LennonDylanBruce fun fact: he has that string tuned to B flat

Great Song.
Would love to play this too on my guitar. I see some of the chords in this video.
Perhaps anyone that could give me the full song with chords ?
