In the original version, solo and outro are played on a celeste (a keyboard
instrument sounding like a glockenspiel). For guitar, the solo looks
something like this:
SOLO (no capo: Eb)(played two times) Eb Cm Ab Bb Eb Cm Ab Bbe|11--------------|----------------|11--------------|----------------|B|11--11----------|1313131315--13--|11--11-----11---|1313131311--9---|G|----12--12------|1313131315--13--|----12--12-12---|1313131312--10--|D|--------13------|----------------|--------13------|----------------|A|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|

The song is in Eb, so I'd suggest using a capo either 1st fret (play: D) or
3rd fret (play: C). Even with capo you can still play the solo as it doesn't
go below the 8th fret.
