    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!-----------
