[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/a/afghan-whigs/282.html ]
The solo is played on the e,B,G strings at around about the 12th fret down to
the 9th? It's a bit haphazard, and difficult to follow, but using the
following fingering you should be able to come up with something similar...
E A D G B e

1 1 1 9th fr.

2 -| lift/press these fingers at
----------- --------------------------------------------------| the appropriate points to get
3 -|------------- a reasonable version of the solo--|
----------- --------------------------------------------------| a little futher into the solo, slide
4 -| about 4 frets up un the neck (12) - I think!
----------- If anyone has a more accurate tab than this, let
me know!

The song proceeds verse/chorus etc.
The end part (best bit IMHO) is :
