Okay, here's "Love Is On the Way" by Saigon Kick...

(standard tuning)
The verse part is picked like so:
                                (repeat)

E-|---------0---------------0-------------------------------------------------|
B-|-------0---0-----------0---0------------5-4-------------4-5-4--------------|

Now, after the second chorus, there's the bridge ("And in the mornin' I'll be
gone away...") which also features simple chords picked like this:
    Bsus2                           Asus2           E              (repeat)

A-|-2---------------2---------------0-----------------------------------------|
E-|-------------------------------------------------0-------------------------|

Okay, here's the tab for the solo, it's not as hard as it may look.  I'm no
lead guitarist by ANY stretch of the imagination and I can play it without
too much effort.  This is played over the verse progression:

E-|--9h11h12-11-9----9--------------------------------------------------------|
B-|---------------12---9--------------------------10p9h10-9---14p12--14-------|
G-|----------------------9-8----------------9p8h9-----------------------------|
D-|--------------------------11~~~--11p9h11-----------------------------------|
A-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|


E-|---------------------------------------------9h11-12-/14-12-11-12-/16------|
B-|-12p10p9-10----9-----------------------------x-----------------------------|
G-|------------11---11-9-11-9-8--/9-9--/6-6~~---x-----------------------------|
D-|---------------------------------------------x-----------------------------|
A-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|


E-|-14-14-12-12p11-11p9-9-11h12-11-12~~---------------------------------------|
B-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G-|---------------------------------------11p9h11-9--11--11p9h11-11h13p11-----|
D-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|


E-|-------------------------------9-9~~--12-12~~-|
B-|---------9h10h12--10-9-10-12~~----------------|
G-|-9--11---x------------------------------------|
D-|---------x------------------------------------|
A-|---------x------------------------------------|
E-|----------------------------------------------|

And 'dat be all there is to it... I think the hardest part is stretching your
fingers to fit the first two chords (the verses).  It's a pain in the ass.
Don't be afraid to use your pinky...

Good luck...
