The Bb- and the Eb-chords are quite a stretch in first position. I've choosen for this as the low F can only be reached in the first position. You can also play these chords in the sixth position but then the distance to the low F is very large. This would be the alternative: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

Solo: The backing for the solo is the same as the first eight bars of the chorus. Before you start with the solo you'll have to learn an old country-lick which is used in rock many times (if you don't know it already). Play the following triad:
E|--8--| E|-----| For this E|-----| B|--8--| Now it's B|-----| lick you B|-----|G|--9--| about this G|--9--| have to G|-7b9-|D|-----| note: D|-----| bend the D|-----|A|-----| A|-----| note up A|-----|E|-----| E|-----| from the E|-----| 7th pos.
In order to place E|--8--| Play the bend with E|-8---|this into the B|--8--| your ringfinger B|-8---|chord you'll G|-----| (supported by the G|-7b9-|have to place D|-----| middle finger and/or D|-----|a small bar A|-----| the index finger if A|-----|with your pinky E|-----| necessary) E|-----|on the 8th pos.
The full lick Francis plays: 1 + 2 + E|8-------8---8---|B|8-------8---8---|G|7b9r7---5---5---|D|----------------|A|----------------|E|----------------|
