As requested, here is my aproximation to that song.

Performed by Them.  As far as I remember Jimmy Page claims to play
guitar on most tracks from that era.

Gloria -- Van Morrison (1965)

(1) Continous guitar backup throughout the song:

     E  E  G6 G6 D  G6 A  G6   G6: --oooo
     /  /  /  /  /  /  /  /        ------
     |__|__|__|  |__|__|__|        -o----
                                   o-----
If You can't play that fast enough, playing open strings instead of G6
gives the same sound.


(2) The ``solo'' ;-)  Repeat six times.

          +---3---+   +---3---------|
     |---12--12--12--10---9--10-----|
     |---12--12--12--10--10--10-----|
     |:--13--13--13--11---9--11-----|
     |------------------------------|
     |------------------------------|
     |------------------------------|

(3) Sorry for any mispellings, misinterpretation, I'm not native speaking.

     Like to tell you 'bout my baby.
     Y'know she comes around.
     She'bout five feet four,
     a-from her head to the ground.
     Y'know she comes around here,
     a-just about midnight.
     She make me feel so good, Lord.
     She make me feel all right.
     And her name is G-L-O-R-I-A,
     G-L-O-R-I-A, G-L-O-R-I-A.
     I'm gonna shout it all night. (Gloria)
     I'm gonna shout it ev'ry day. (Gloria)

     She comes around here,
     just about midnight.
     She make me feel so good, Lord.
     I wanna say, she make me feel alright.
     She comes walkin' down my street;
     a-well, she comes to my house.
     She knock up-on my door.
     And then she comes to my room.
     Then she make me feel all right.
     G-L-O-R-I-A, G-L-O-R-I-A.
     I'm gonna shout it all night. (Gloria)
     I'm gonna shout it ev'ry day. (Gloria)
