For the Solo, these chords are played (listen to song for rhythm) 

Em and D, i find it sounds better if you do Em in the A form, the D chord can  
really go either way. 

The D chord isn't by itself, it goes like this: 

e-5-------------| 
b-7-7-7-8-8-7-7-| 
g-7-7-----------| 
d-7-------------| 
a-5-------------| 
e-x-------------|
