I guess you could play the chords in a number of positions, these are the ones i prefer.
Play your own solos, its just one of those songs where you have to. ;)

Ive just written the chord patterns in square brackets that are used for each part of 
song.

Louie louie made his mark
on this tender heart of mine
the jamaican moon don't let it get dark
though we rock out in the night time
