All the other chords are powerchords and should be played 'high'.
Listening to the song, will probably help you understand this tab.
The beginning of the solo goes like this:

The rest should be easy to figure out.
Here are the lyrics:
Motorbike to heaven
===================
I'm gonna drive my motorbike to heaven
I'm gonna slice a lemon in two
And when the charcoal's burning bright
We'll be there, in heaven
I'm gonna fly my motorbike to you
I don't know why
But I've got a good idea that we'll meet again some day
It makes me cry
There's a memory of you standing in the woods
And then they sigh
Cause they've got a good idea that my hair is full of ferns
I'm gonna shine my hair in blooms
Because my mind is full of you
I think I'm gonna dust my room
Cause there's a notice in my head
I'm gonna shine my bike instead
Cause that's what the notice said
[Repeat 1st verse]
I don't know why
But I've good a good idea that we'll meeat again some day
It makes me cry
You're standing on a yacht and I don't know what to say
I dreamt last night
We we're playing kiss and tell then I watched you fly away
Well there's a diamond in my car
And it's shining like a star
I feel I'm coming home to you
Cause there's a message in my soup
And it could be like yesterday
I wish you'd never gone away
[Repeat 2nd and 3rd verse]
Well, that's it.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SALAD tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
