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
