Solo:

A|---------------------------------------------------12-------------12-12-|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|--------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------|
G|-------------------9-10-9----9--------| Some mega-fast hammer-ons up the
D|-----7---7-10-7-10--------10---10-7---|  strings after this, based on the
A|-7-8---8----------------------------8-|   same notes here.
D|--------------------------------------|

This was about as much of the solo as I could get I'm afraid, but it ends on
the 22nd fret of the high E string.
