We have an official Blackbird tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
(this tab was essentially copied out of a Beatles anthology that is based on
transcripts from the original recording sessions.  In other words, this tab is 100% correct.)

Sorry, no this isn't exactly right. Check out version 2.
This tab works very good. Lyrics on it would help and would make iteven better.
This tab is correct, but fingers have to jump around strings and positions on the neck. There are tabs that have enharmonic transcriptions that make for smoother transitions. Even though the notes are right, they are not the simplest way to play this song.
