I am SO SICK of seeing tabs that have half of it ripped off
of other people and the rest made up. Does anyone actually
listen to the CDs anymore? To make this tab (and in fact 
all of mine) I boost the bass up way high on my computer
(using the WAVs ripped from the CD) and listen to little
bits at a time so that I KNOW it's right.

This harmonic in Verse I is hard to play; you have to strike the
string in the right place. (You can also use the 4th or 9th frets
instead; your choice.)
