Harmonics section:
Uses the same riff as the verses but played in harmonics like this.
Hover your little finger over the 19th fret over strings 2 3 and 4.
When you strum these strings it sounds the harmonic chord of D major.
The bass note alternates between D and F# as in the other verses and
the D bass note is played as a harmonic at the 12th fret also.
Played over D5 Played over F#
