I'm no big U2 fan by any stretch of the imagination, but you're over-underestimating (dunno if thats really a word but I like it!) The Edge there! For one thing, I just looked it up, the chords to Blackbird aren;t really that complex.....the craziest thing is theres a E minor-major 7th in there......maybe the voicings are a bit unusual.....and DADGAD tuning is nothing new.....I think he probably knows of it, even if he doesnt USE it.....
edit:
upon further investigation, it seems he at times used a Dmsus4 tuning (FADDGD).....never heard of that one myself actually......
and I think that should be Dm "add" 4, technically, but that's neither here nor there....

Blackbird might not be THAT complex in terms of chord structure but it's more complex than much (most?) of U2's output. However, I looked up some of The Edge's tuning variations and he does indeed use alternative tuning for Stuck in a Moment and it's nicely done. I think that's it except for a minor alteration on A Sort of Homecoming.
