Hello all, Im new to this site, and was wondering if anyone knows any good sites for free tin whistle tabs. Id love to find “If I was a Blackbird”. I also am learning the Native Flute. If anyone can link me tabs, or sites I would be gratefull.

Hi, welcome!

There are many different settings of the song. But one of these may be the one you’re looking for:

Click on “Pennywhistle Notation” for whistle tabs. Any of the songs on the YADTP site with tune notation can show whistle tabs.

Added: Personally, the setting I prefer is the one by Andy M. Stewart with Silly Wizard. The setting on thesession.org is basically the same as above. But if you look in the comments, you’ll find the ABC in Bm for Andy M. Stewart version (though he sings it originally in Dm; use an F whistle to play along as written).

Thanks for the quick reply. I love Silly Wizard btw. It was the song “If I was a Blackbird” that first got me interested in the tin whistle.

For Native American Flute music, perhaps you would find www.flutetree.com/songbook/index.html helpful.

Best wishes.
