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.

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.
