_ Let me slow it down a little bit here and get a close up view of it.
The tablature is going to be on my blog site.
You can download as an image file.
But here, I'm just going to walk you through the tune.
_ _ [D] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ So we just played the two [G#] inner strings.
_ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ _ Little pinky up on the 7th fret and we play the Travis pick. _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ That's an F chord, _ _ [E] _ _ E7 chord. _
Slide it up to the index fingers on the 4th.
So _ _ [F] let's _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _
_ go down to the 1st fret [C] then. _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ Sometimes I like to go, _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ that would be a nice little stinger at the end of a phrase.
Then the [F] chorus, _ I play an F chord with a little pinky on the [Fm] 3rd fret.
_ Going to an F [C] minor, _ going to a [G] C all the time leaving the little [F] finger on the 3rd fret. _
_ _ [C] Blackbird fly.
[C] _ _
Adding a C suspended 4th by the index finger on [F] the 2nd string 1st fret.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] Blackbird fly.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ And I'm doing down down up down up down up up down.
[Fm] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
Blackbird [C] _ fly. _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ Blackbird [C] _ fly.
_ _ _ [F] _ _ Blackbird [C] _
fly.
_ Stop.
[F] Into the light [Fm] _ of a [C] dark black night. _
[F] Into the light [Fm] of a dark [C]
black night.
_ [F#] Then back to.
[C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ [E] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [Fm] _

And there you go.
_ Like I say, it's on my blog site, or will soon be on my blog site,
as an image [F#] file which you can download, print out, and play away.
Love to hear more of you do covers of some of my lessons.
I've had some people do Tonight You Belong to Me [Am] and Edelweiss recently.
I'd love to hear more of those, and maybe somebody could do Tammy.
_ [C] If you've gotten the tabs for Keyport Rag [F#] or Rose Garden Serenade or Freight Train,
I'd love to hear some more video responses to that as well.
Happy strumming. _ _ _ _ _ _
