The Bb- and the Eb-chords are quite a stretch in first position. I've
choosen for this as the low F can only be reached in the first
position. You can also play these chords in the sixth position but
then the distance to the low F is very large.
This would be the alternative:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

Solo:
The backing for the solo is the same as the first eight bars of
the chorus.
Before you start with the solo you'll have to learn an old country-lick
which is used in rock many times (if you don't know it already).
Play the following triad:
E|--8--| E|-----| For this E|-----|
B|--8--| Now it's B|-----| lick you B|-----|
G|--9--| about this G|--9--| have to G|-7b9-|
D|-----| note: D|-----| bend the D|-----|
A|-----| A|-----| note up A|-----|
E|-----| E|-----| from the E|-----|
7th pos.
In order to place E|--8--| Play the bend with E|-8---|
this into the B|--8--| your ringfinger B|-8---|
chord you'll G|-----| (supported by the G|-7b9-|
have to place D|-----| middle finger and/or D|-----|
a small bar A|-----| the index finger if A|-----|
with your pinky E|-----| necessary) E|-----|
on the 8th pos.

Well the times gettin' hard for you little girl
I'm a hummin' and a strummin' all over God's world
You can't remember when you got your last meal
And you dont know just how a woman feels
You didn't know what rock 'n' roll was
Until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus
I got there in the nick of time
Before he got his hands across your state line
I said I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
Now its the middle of the night
On the open road
The heater don't work and it's oh-so cold
You're lookin' tired, you're lookin' kinda beat
The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet
You didn't know how rock 'n' roll looked
Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group
Half-way home in the parking lot
By the look in her eyes she was givin' what she got
I said I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
Woman you're a mess gonna die in your sleep
There's blood on my amp and my fenders beat
Can't keep you home, you're messin around
My best friend told me you're the best lick in town
You didn't know that rock 'n' roll burned
So you bought a candle and you live and you learn
You got the rhythm, you got the speed
Mamma's little baby likes it short and sweet
I said I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
I said I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy
