(For the sake of accuracy, I have tabbed this song as it would ACTUALLY be 
played.  With the capo on the 3rd fret, your open notes are technically 
all gonna be 3's in tab.  So until I indicate that you are to remove 
the capo, all 3's mean that you leave the string open and let the capo do 
the rest.  :)  For example, the first chord here is SUPPOSED to look like 
a standard "G" shape, but the tab looks funny because the 3rd fret is 
really your "open".  Is that confusing enough?...)

When you're back in standard, you're ready to begin the main part of the 
song, which has the following chord progression with a few variations: 
G D G/B A 
And it's played like so... 
  G     D       G/B   A

Then it's back to the G D G/B A progression again for the chorus. 
Then comes the solo for which Eddie locks his Trans-Trem 1 step DOWN! 
(i.e. DON'T ASK! I'm not gonna tune my guitar 1 step down just to figure it 
out.)  Then, after the solo, Eddie brings the Trans-Trem back up to the 
FIRST position (1 1/2 steps up) and plays the little beginning part again. 
And then again back to standard for another chorus bit ("Ahhhh, summer 
nights..."). 
 
For the outro, I think it's just that main chord progression with something 
like this over it... 
(let ring) 
   nh.................   nh......

After that, I'm not sure, it starts to fade out and it's tough to hear. 
I guess you could just flub it from there...
