  Ladies, let me...

Bridge/Whatever You Call It

  (play twice)      (let ring)
e|--1--1--1----0--0--0----0------------------
BB|--2--2--2----1--1--1----3------------------ Back into verse...

A augmentedA|--1--1--1----0--0--0-----------------------
E MajorE|-------------------------------------------

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 MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB 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!
-----------

The song proceeds verse/chorus etc.

The end part (best bit IMHO) is :

  (strum pretty loosely - listen to the record, you'll get the idea)
e|-------------1--1--1------5--5--5-------8---8---8-----------
BB|-------------2--2--2------6--6--6-------8---8---8-----------
G+G|-------------3--3--3------7--7--7-------9---9---9-----------
D MajorD|-------------3--3--3------7--7--7-------10--10--10----------
A augmentedA|-------------1--1--1------5--5--5-------10--10--10----------
E MajorE|----------------------------------------8---8---8-----------

  ...you be sweet,    be sweet,   be sweet...

That shrieking solo in the middle of the song goes something like this:
