Blackbird, The

Slide · 12/8 · G major

The Blackbird, The is a traditional Irish slide set in 12/8 meter and G major. Played with a lively and bouncing character characteristic of the slip jig and slide repertoire, it is well suited for foot-tapping dance accompaniment. Because its exact historical origin and composer are not historically documented, the tune's early background remains uncertain.
