 [E7 Chord:]

 --5-----| 
 --7-----|

 --7-----|

 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: 
  
 -----------------------------------------11--10--| 
 -5----5-4-3-------------3-----4------------------| 
 --------------5------5-----5-----5---------------|

 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.
