Where Were You Last Night tab by The Traveling Wilburys

Where were you last night – Traveling Wilburys
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

Another good one from the Wilbury's "Vol. 3". It's fun to play these songs with more
one acoustic guitar, using capos in different positions. That's what the Wilbury sound is
anyway.

I think I got pretty close. I'm not sure about the C chord in the "You weren't around me
they found me" part and the corresponding sections, though. Any ideas anybody? Thanks
comments!
