(* The last notes of the previous bar are still ringing here on
the first half of the first beat. So don't strike the C5-chord
here. In following verses you do strike the C5-chord here).
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:
Play these four bars three times but replace the two last bars the
third time by:
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.
