Sometimes during the song, those parts are played differently, but its not very noticable.
I think theyre mistakes, but I could be wrong. Just play around that.

Solo thingy

First Part (Tis the intro)
E----------------------------------------------------------------|

The solo is played twice at the end. Theres a little downward slide at the end of the
repeat.

Tis something like that. Dont let the chords ring though.

Okay, now for the rhythm guitar.

Around there. Im not too sure about the strumming pattern, but that sounds about right.

Then it follows the lead guitar up a string
E----------------------------------------------------------------|
B-3---------------3----------------------------------------------|
G-2---------------2----------------------------------------------|

G-7---------------7----------------------------------------------|
D-7---------------7----------------------------------------------|

Again, Im not too sure about the pattern, but that sounds pretty good to me.

Then back to A, then down to E
