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!
