             Last Night – The Traveling Wilburys
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Written by: Dylan/Harrison/Lynne/Orbison/Petty
From: “Vol. 1” (1988)
 
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
 
The same chord pattern is used for verse and chorus, but the bass plays a
descending line in the chorus. I indicated the bass line with slash chords.
It is of course possible to just leave out these notes and play the regular
chords throughout. If you have a bass playing along: use these notes in
the chorus.
 
One guitar part plays A-shapes (transpose this chord sheet -3 and use a
capo 3rd fret to match the original key). Nice addition if you have more
than one player.

[Intro]
| C F | C G | C F | C G |
 
 
[Verse]
        C            F   C    G         |  C  F  |  C  G  |
She was there at the bar, she heard my guitar
        C        F    C            G           |  C  F  |  C  G  |
She was long and tall, she was the queen of them all
 
 
[Chorus]
C        F  C/E  G/D            C         F  C/E  G/D
Last night,      thinking about last night
C        F  C/E  G/D            C         F  C/E  G/D
Last night,      thinking about last night
 
 
[Verse]
        C            F    C        G          |  C  F  |  C  G  |
She was dark and discreet, she was light on her feet
        C         F    C         G          |  C  F  |  C  G  |
We went up to her room   and she lowered the boom
 
 
[Chorus]
C        F  C/E  G/D            C         F  C/E  G/D
Last night,      thinking about last night
C        F  C/E  G/D            C         F  C/E  G/D
Last night,      thinking about last night
 
 
[Bridge]
Am                                     |  Am  |  %  |
 Down below they danced and sang in the street
Am                                         |  G  |  G7  |
While up above the walls were steaming with heat
 
 
[Chorus]
C        F  C/E  G/D            C         F  C/E  G/D
Last night,      thinking about last night
C        F  C/E  G/D            C         F  C/E  G/D
Last night,      thinking about last night
 
 
[Verse]
        C            F    C        G          |  C  F  |  C  G  |
I was feeling no pain, feeling good in my brain
        C            F    C        G          |  C  F  |  C  G  |
I looked in her eyes, they were full of surprise
 
 
[Chorus]
C        F  C/E  G/D           C         F  C/E  G/D
Last night,      talking about last night
C        F  C/E  G/D           C         F  C/E  G/D
Last night,      talking about last night
 
 
[Bridge]
  Am                                              |  Am  |  %  |
I asked her to marry me she smiled and pulled out a knife
     Am                                                    |  G  |  G7  |
“The party's just beginning”, she said, "Your money or your life!"
 
 
[Chorus]
C        F  C/E  G/D           C         F  C/E  G/D
Last night,      talking about last night
C        F  C/E  G/D           C         F  C/E  G/D
Last night,      talking about last night
 
 
[Verse]
        C             F   C           G        |  C  F  |  C  G  |
Now I'm back at the bar,   she went a little too far
C           F      C      G         |  C  F  |  C  G  |
She done me wrong,  all I got is this song
 
 
[Chorus]
C        F  C/E  G/D            C         F  C/E  G/D
Last night,      thinking about last night
C        F  C/E  G/D            C         F  C/E  G/D
Last night,      thinking about last night

If you transpose down 3 steps to key of A then Capo on 1st fret, it plays along pretty well to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja65XrIXKbc which is in the key of Bb. Good job.

Great fun song - love their video (always great to be able to spoof yourself!); the -3 transpose/capo 1 is a bit easier to play and stay on rhythm

I play it transposed down 5 steps with a capo on the 3rd fret. Play in G. Sounds quite good.
