This is probably the best tab you'll find online.
For the solo, it's not completley accurate but you can improvise a little if you want.
This song is best played on a guitar with a whammy bar. Since my guitar doesn't have one 
have altered it a little.

The timing might be off in some spots, just listen to the recording.
