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:

By the way, listen to Blackbird and then I'll Follow the Sun. Aren't they really just variations on the same song? For that matter, how about Lady Madonna and Get Back? Any other recycled Beatles songs?

Then it starts again.
The song consists of these parts in a mix I can't remember exactly right now but listen to the recording and I think you will find out.
As always, the timing isn't in the tab, just the fingering.
