[Verse notes: During the verses, one of the guitars is playing eighth notes
on the upbeats of beats 2 and 3, this is done on the 13th frets of the high
E and B strings, i.e. the top two strings, listen for it on the album.
The tabs after each line are the fills that are played after each verse.]

And now for the the solo:
[Note: Midway through the solo, a second guitar comes in with a harmony, but
for the sake of simplicity and notation I have only written out the top part.
The lower harmony notes are a major third lower, as far as I can tell. Also,
the chords that accompany the solo are F-A-Bb-C in succession.]
