This is (currently) how i play it. It's mostly just building on tabs I've already seen 
to make the notes less disjointed.

The solo comes in just after an A-E-A-E chord sequence. I usually play A-E-A and then 
hit the 5th fret of the top e string a few times to better transition into the solo and to 
emulate the organ in the song a bit more.

I've also added the chords being played by the guitars in the background - this is 
mainly to give a rough idea of timing.

p = pull off
\ = slide
~ = vibrato
() = 'ghost' note: optionally hold previous note instead of playing
... = etc.

The very last bit could be slightly off - it's played pretty quickly.
