This is my rough transcription of Joe Wright's recording of this tune. He does 3 solos, of which I have tabbed the first 2. In the 2nd solo, he uses a lot of distortion, which I have attempted to reproduce on the clip by playing through my Pacer amp instead of the Session 400 and adding some WAV edit jiggerypokery after the event. It's amazing how much mileage he gets out of the C-pedal.
Joe plays Universal, of course, which, in this case, amounts to Extended E9th. In a few places, the 11th (G#) and 12th (E) strings are used. If you haven't got these, you can still play most of the tune.
The backing track is an edit of a
midi
I found on the Internet (author unknown) with all the good bits (organ etc) removed.
