The Devil's Been Busy - Traveling Wilburys
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
One of my favourite songs from the Traveling Wilbury's "Vol. 3".
This is the first time I've tried to transcribe a solo. Does it make sense?
Comments are highly welcome.
Have fun!

SONG
(Intro riff: 2 times)
[Verse 1: Petty] While you're strolling down the fairway
Showing no remorse (FILL 1)
Glowing from the poisons
They've sprayed on your golf course (FILL 1)
While you're busy sinking birdies
And keeping your scorecard
The devil's been busy in your back yard (Intro riff)
[Verse 2: Harrison] Steaming down the highway
With your trucks of toxic waste (FILL 1)
Where you gonna hide it?
Maybe outer space? (FILL 1)
You don't know what you're doing (FILL 2)
Or what you have to guard (FILL 2)
The devil's been busy in your back yard (Intro riff)
[Middle 8: Dylan] Sometimes you think you're crazy
But you know you're only mad
Sometimes your better off not knowing
How much you've been had
[Verse 3: Dylan] You see your second cousin
Wasted in a fight (FILL 1)
You say he had it coming
You couldn't do it right (FILL 1)
You're in a western movie, (FILL 2)
Bm Eb(7)
Playing a li'l part (FILL 3)
The devil's been busy in your back yard (Intro riff)

SOLO (Fill2) SOLO (Intro riff)
[Middle 8: Dylan] Sometimes they say you're wicked
But you know that can't be bad
Sometimes you're better off not knowing
It'll only make you sad
[Verse 4: Lynne] They're coming down Picadilly
Dripping at the dosh (FILL 1)
Arresting Sticky Willy
Clubbing him with their cosh (FILL 1)
They just might not have noticed, (FILL 2)
They've been beating him so hard (FILL 2)
The devil's been busy in your back yard (Intro riff)
The devil's been busy in your back yard (Intro riff)
The devil's been busy in your back yard (Intro riff, 3 bars)

There are always lots of acoustic guitars on Wilbury songs with capos in different positions.
You might want to track the first guitar with a second one, capo 5th fret:
