The solo is very simple, it's after the bridge at the end
of the song and is continually played until the sound 
fades away.

So here's the whole song:
[Intro]
[Verse 2x]
There is a dream 
I used to have
My dream swallowed me whole
There is a bridge
Where I hate to go
That is where I first saw her

[Riff 2x]
High on the bridge 
I've seen her
Red hair shining

[Verse 2x]
There is a girl
I never knew
She was my aunt Viginia
They said that she
she just disappeared
They said I looked just like her

[Chorus 4x muted] 
High on the bridge
I've seen her 
Dancing and waving to me there
She smiled and raised her head
and she took to the air

[Verse 2x with distortion]
The is a dream 
I can't escape
My memories come back to me
There is a hell
I can't escape 
My memories come back to me

[Chorus 4x with distortion]
I hear the truth about it
pictures and headlines
Hidden away
I heard the truth about my real mom
Jumping from the bridge that day

[Bridge 4x with distorton]
Now I know why ever since I was three years old
been having the same nightmare
Now I know the truth about Virginia
and why she took to the air
[Verse clean]
[Play solo over verse clean]

Well that's about all of it.
