Well this tab is done and I hope it helps a lot.
The other tabs on this site are not quite acurate as this though
I do know that this tab is not 100%. The other tab for blackbird
has been tabbed listening to Third Day (Bus CD) and this one has been tabbed
from LIVE WIRE

Thankyou and PLEASE add any helpful suggestions
