Phew.. That was the "intro," now for the final part: 

First you should play this: (remember: ') 

D|2 3 2 6 5 3'3  4 5 3'3' 3 
A|2 3 2 6 5 3 3  4 5 3 3  3 
D|0 1 0 4 3 1 1  2 3 1 1  1 
  
Then right after, this: 

D|3'3' 6 5 3'3' 4 5 3'3'  3} 
A|3 3  6 5 3 3  4 5 3 3   3}play this 6 times

D|3'3' 6 5 3'3'  4 5 3'3' 6 3'3' 7 
A|3 3  6 5 3 3   4 5 3 3  6 3 3  7 
D|1 1  4 3 1 1   2 3 1 1  4 1 1  5 
  

D|7 7*7*7*7*7*7*   7 5   6 6 6 6 7           7   5

                                  Harmonics 

Then it gets outta control but I've done the best I possibly could, I think.
