Ladies, let me tell you...
The solo is played on the e,B,G strings at around about the 12th fret down
to the 9th? It's a bit haphazard, and difficult to follow, but using the
following fingering you should be able to come up with something similar...
E A D G B e
-----------
1 1 1 9th fr.
-----------
2 -| lift/press these fingers at
----------- | the appropriate points to get
3 -|------------- a reasonable version of the solo.
----------- | a little futher into the solo, slide
4 -| about 4 frets up un the neck (12) - I think!
----------- If anyone has a more accurate tab than this,
let me know!

The song proceeds verse/chorus etc.

and harmonics.

Ladies, let me tell you...
The solo is played on the e,B,G strings at around about the 12th fret down
to the 9th? It's a bit haphazard, and difficult to follow, but using the
following fingering you should be able to come up with something similar...
E A D G B e
-----------
1 1 1 9th fr.

2 -| lift/press these fingers at
----------- | the appropriate points to get
3 -|------------- a reasonable version of the solo.
----------- | a little futher into the solo, slide
4 -| about 4 frets up un the neck (12) - I think!
----------- If anyone has a more accurate tab than this,
let me know!
