(ver. 1)
Happy Mondays
Start out with the Rhythm Guitar (no capo):

    Bb               Gm
e|--6--6-6-6--6--6---6--6-6--6-6-6-6----------|
B|--6--6-6-6--6--6---8--8-8--8-8-8-8----------|
G|--7--7-7-7--7--7---7--7-7--7-7-7-7----------|
D|--8--8-8-8--8--8---8--8-8--8-8-8-8----------|
A|--------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------|

Lead guitar line (capo on 3rd), comes in after the Bb and Gm are played once
e|---------------------------------------------------|
B|-------0-------0------------------0------0---------|
G|-----------------------------0---------------------|  repeat 16 times
D|--9b10----7b8-----5------5-------------------------| play during chorus
A|-----------------------7-------7------7------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------|


Variation of lead guitar line (maybe alternating with the above)
e|---------------------------------------------------|
B|-------0-------0------------------0----------------|
G|-----------------------------0-----------0---------|
D|--9b10----7b8-----5------5-------------------------|
A|-----------------------7-------7-----7-----7-------|
E|---------------------------------------------------|

You can play around with variation of that final pattern, but that's basically it.


The string bending riff after the chorus:
e|---------------------------------------------------|
B|--2-----3------5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----------|
G|--4b6---5b7----7b9---7b9---7b9---7b9---7b9---------| repeat four times
D|---------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------|


Then, play the lead guitar 12 more times

Solo (around 2:35, after second chorus and string bending riff)

e|--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12---10--10-10-|
B|--13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13---11--11-11-|
G|--15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15---12--12-12-| repeat four times
D|--------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------| 
E|--------------------------------------------|

The song ends on the lead guitar line played another dozen times
