The solo is found in the film I See Ice which is viewable on youtube. PeterCNixon on youtube provides an excellent annotated tutorial for this song (solo from 0.59), the only complications being it is in D and with poor sound quality… and needs slowing down to work out easily. All his instructional videos are of tremendous value – and it is good to see that he was mentioned in the Frank Skinner Formby documentary. Strummingsimon also has a good youtube video (and question/answers) that is helpful.
Chords and their split-stroke finger lifts and taps – based on C tuning positions (which will thus give different chord names in D)
C (0003) lifts to 0000
C7 (0001) lifts to 0000
G7 (0212) lifts to 0210 (ring finger)
F (2010) doesn’t seem to lift, but taps elsewhere to 2013 (ring finger)
D7 (3334) taps to 3336 (ring finger)

* chord is 2323; Peter Nixon suggests 1323; I tend to play 1023 (Ab7) which is even easier but a different chord
