Cover of The Beatles' classic track.

Sir Paul used a unique pluck/single-finger strum on his original tune. I couldn't get any consistency with that technique, so I had to work out a plucking pattern that fit my own playing style. We can't all be Paul McCartney.

He also managed to completely avoid the D (middle) string throughout the entire song, like it was the third rail. I wound up embracing it, because I thought it was sonically interesting.

Words & Lyrics by John Lennon/Paul McCartney
Arr. by C. Jackson

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of a dark black night
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of a dark black night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
