Quick word on the chords: pluck the bass note on the first beat and strum down and then
on the third and fourth beats respectively, with maybe a light strum up on the second
Can strum all the notes but I find if you just strum the top three (the G,B and e
it sounds more like the real thing). And when you strum the G and F for two bars in the
strum up instead of plucking the bass note for the second bar. Before the chorus just
up.

REPEAT CHORUS exactly as above
(Other versions of the solo aren't quite right, so this is the best
I could come up with, I think it's pretty much there. I've tried to
get the timing right, but you'll need to listen hard to the song if
you want to play it perfect.)
[1/3 means pluck with first fret held down and slide to 3; 2p0 means
pluck with second fret down and pull off to open string]
