I play session music with friends on a Monday night at the George Hotel in Castletown, Isle of Man.
On being asked, "What is your band called?" the late member, Colin Jerry replied, tongue in cheek: "We are the East Ronague Combined Services Regimental Band"
Of course, whilst there is a small hamlet called Ronague, there is no East Ronague to my knowledge, however in homage to Colin, I composed this tune which is now included in our repertoire.
I have attempted to show the harmonica tabs on screen and would suggest that to follow them, you first set the tempo to 75% using the cogwheel icon bottom right of the video.
If you would like a copy of the sheet music, drop me an email to nuncton@hotmail.com

![Guitar: Do Wah Diddy Diddy (Including lyrics and chords)
Having uploaded The Mighty Quinn a couple of days ago, I am uploading another Manfred Mann song today with Do Wah Diddiy Diddy.
Wikipedia has the following information about this song:
Do Wah Diddy Diddy is a song written by Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich and originally recorded in 1963, as Do-Wah-Diddy, by the American vocal group the Exciters. Cash Box described the Exciters version as a sparkling rocker that bubbles over with coin-catching enthusiasm and said that the great lead job is backed by a fabulous instrumental arrangement.[5] It was made internationally famous by the British band Manfred Mann and covered by Fun Factory in 1995.
I performed this one as my second offering at the monthly sing-around at the sheltered accommodation at which I live and have been organizing such events for fourteen years now. Guitar: Do Wah Diddy Diddy (Including lyrics and chords)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/q8EITfo7ydc/mqdefault.jpg)
