Gary Richarth's Soloing ability is beyond my interpreting ability
(im am deeply sorry)
I can tell you that the guitar solo is in the key of G...and its played in
pentatonic scales. The rythm is the verse. first note of the first solo is
B|---18b20---------| in the second solo its G|---5b7---|
try to work off that

Please don't hate me mama for what I'm about to do
But the good times we've had together are just about now through
Please don't misunderstand me, I hate to see you cry
But I think that it might look better if I told you now goodbye
I'm back on the road again, it's time I leave you now
And maybe I'll see you next time, that I'm around
Until then I hope your happy baby and good times come your way
I'm back on the road again, I'm on my way
Well I've loved you since the day I met you and I'll love you till the day I die
But we both know the life I'm livin’ and we both know the reason why
That I've got to leave ya mama and I've got to leave today
But you know that I'll see you next time that I come through your town to play
I'm back on the road again, it's time I leave you now
And maybe I'll see you next time, that I'm around
Until then I hope you’re happy baby and good times come your way
I'm back on the road again, I'm on my way, I’m on my way
Ooo, bye-bye baby
I'm back on the road again, it's time I leave you now
And maybe I'll see you next time, that I'm around, yeah!
Until then I hope your happy baby and good times come your way
I'm back on the road again, I'm on my way
I'm back on the road again, I'm on my way
I’m on my way, I’m on my way, I’m on my way
Bye-bye baby
