In the original version, solo and outro are played on a celeste (a keyboard
instrument sounding like a glockenspiel). For guitar, the solo looks
something like this:

The song is in Eb, so I'd suggest using a capo either 1st fret (play: D) or
3rd fret (play: C). Even with capo you can still play the solo as it doesn't
go below the 8th fret.

And here's a second version: Many cover versions add the relative minor
chord, throughout. I think it sounds nice. If you want to know what this version
sounds like, check out my recording here:
