BLACKBIRD 4 [ TAB ]

Beatles
"White Album"
Tab For "Blackbird"
Transcribed by Kevin Gipe

I took a look at various tabs for this song, and I have it a little different. 
This version matches the White Album recording, and requires a less movement about the neck than many versions I've seen. 
Nothing formal - just the way I learned it by ear...

(and then the rest can be derived from the parts described above...)

Of course, there is some more sophisticated picking going on in the background that is not described here - but this should get you to where you can fill in the blanks..
