Song: Blackbird
Artist: Lennon/McCartney (Paul?s song)
Album: The Beatles (White Album)
I?ve seen several tabs of ?Blackbird? online, all of which sound good, but they?re kind of hard to play, unless you can move your left hand (or right for lefties) up and down the guitar neck fast. Here?s the tab from ?Guitar World Acoustic? no. 41, their ?White Album Mania? issue. It?s easier, because the chords are closer together, but it also takes a fair amount of coordination to switch the fingerings. The main differences are for the 5th measure (?Take these broken wings and learn to fly?) which is the 3rd here, because you repeat 1-3 (First time is the intro, 2nd time is ?Blackbird singing in the dead of night?). The #s at the top are measure #s.

Then repeat this for verses. If you know the song, or listen to it, you?ll see how it works.
