Happy Town
This one uses a strange B6/9 chord that seems to have been inspired by his forgetting he’s in open A and playing a normal B.
Tune to open A
E A E A C# E
Asus2
x.0.0.2.(3).x
(Sometimes you play the note on the B string, sometimes you don't. You’ll hear it.)
G#
4.6.4.6.x.x
F#
2.4.2.4.x.x
B
x.2.2.2.x.x
often alternating with
x.2.4.2.x.x
E/G#
4.x.0.2.x.x
C#
x.4.4.4.x.x
E
0.2.0.2.3.0
B6/9
x.2.4.4.0.x
A
x.0.0.0.x.x
often alternating with
x.0.2.0.x.x
Echo-y opening and E lick

E w/ lick
{. . . happy town}
B6/9 — A
Repeat twice, then
{Happy town}

Go through everything again, then end with
{Ha-a-a-ppy now}
B — E
Organ solo

Guitar solo over a chorus is mostly this

Just bend and release that note on the G string against either note on the high E.
Goes through the final verse, then the outro:
{Happy Town}
A — B
In the outro, the A might alternate with Asus2. Same for B and B6/9.
