I've known the fingering for Blackbird for some years.
But the middle part always fouls me up (yuck yuck).
You know the part.....'blackbird fly, blackbird fly
into the dark of the dark black night.."
Thanks. //Gary

I know there are tabs for Blackbird at Nevada, but as I recall, I don't
entirely agree with the one in normal tuning, and the one in open G seemed
harder than the normal version, for me at least.  Anyway, this is how I
play the part in question.  Normal tuning.

Etc. instrumentally through one verse, then repeat bridge, playing four
measures of the last chord (10/12), slowing tempo each measure. Rub a
wound string (A or D) with the tips of your thumb and forefinger to
simulate a European blackbird chirping.  Then:

And back into the last verse.  

By the way, listen to Blackbird and then I'll Follow the Sun.  Aren't they
really just variations on the same song?  For that matter, how about Lady
Madonna and Get Back?  Any other recycled Beatles songs?

Then it starts again.
The song consists of these parts in a mix I can't remember
exactly right now but listen to the recording and I think
you will find out.
As always, the timing isn't in the tab, just the fingering.

The Beatles - Blackbird

Blackbird
This is a video I made from the Beatles song blackbird. I put a bunch of photos of the Beatles together and individually. This is one of my favorite songs. There is a lot of chat about what the song is about : This is what it is said to be about or the meaning of, and some other interesting facts. Paul McCartney wrote this about the civil rights struggle for blacks after reading about race riots in the US. Only 3 things were recorded: Paul's voice, his acoustic guitar, and a tapping. According to the video The Complete Beatles, the tap was not a foot or metronome - the Master was intentionally scratched. If you listen closely you will notice that is sounds like a scratch on a record. Birds were dubbed in later. This was one of 5 Beatles songs McCartney performed on his Wings Over America tour in 1976. Blackbird Singing is the title of a book of poems McCartney wrote. Brad Mehldau recorded an instrumental jazz version of this in 1997. In 2002, The Doves covered this on the soundtrack to the TV show Roswell. At some of McCartney's concerts 2005, he said that one of the first tunes he learned how to play was a riff by Bach, and that modified riff turned into this song.
