There are already a couple tabs for this on the site, but I found none that accurately

*After slidding up to the 15th John plays a very indisctinct pattern on C. I believe he is

using some form of harmonics, but the sound is so burried in the mix it is very hard to hear

exactly what he is doing. I personally strum a C power chord here on the A, D, and G

strings (with the root being on the 15th fret of the A string), but what you do here is 
up to you.
