In the tab I found by Shor Bowman (correction on A.B.'s tab)
the solo was a little off.  
The open notes didn't sound right for this song.  
The rest of it was right.


This is the solo at the beginning of the song:
G--------2--------------------------------------------------------|             D---2-4-5----4-2-0-2-4-5---5-2-0-------2-4------------2--2--------|        
A-------------------------------4-0--5------5-4-2-4-5-------4-2-1-|  
E---------------------------------------------------------------2-|

G----------------------------------------------------------------|
D-----------2------4------2-4-5-7--4-------4-5--5----------------|
A--2--5-2-4---4--5---5-7-7-----------7-5-7--------7-5-4----------|
E-------------------------------------------------------5--------|

This is played during the verse:
G-------------5/7----------------5/7--|
D------9-7-9--------------9-7-9-------|
A-------------------------------------|
E--7------------------7---------------|

Sometimes:
G---------------------------|
D-----9-7-9--9-7-9--9-7-9---|
A---------------------------|
E-7-------------------------|

This is played during the "chorus":
G----------------------------------------------------------------|
D----------------------------------------------------------------|
A------------------------------------5-5-------------------------|
E--5-7-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-5-7-5-7--7--7-----------------------------|

G-----------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------|
A-------5---------5-----------5-------5---|
E-5-7-x---7-x-x-x----7--5-7-x---7-5-----7-| 

This is played during the guitar solo:

G-----------------------------9-7-9-------------|
D-----------------------------------------------|
A-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-5-5-5-5-7--7---------7--5-5-5-5-|
E-----------------------------------------------|

The dashes are simply the spacing between notes
