This part is written for an electric or acoustic with a long neck. If not then play this part an octave lower (minus 12 from each note). It sounds just as good that way but the higher pitch helps to get that sound heard on the cd. I call it "pearl drop". It is similar to the opening section.

The 24 is exactly where the 24th fret would be if your guitar had one. If that spooks you out then the same harmonic is at the fifth fret, same string... and also at the 12th fret, but with a much fuller sound. If your playing an octave lower then use the 12th fret harmonic. P.S. The "!" means hit it hard and brace yourself...

Key:
(-) = optional note. In this tab most notes are optional. But notes
like (this) are probably important notes being played by a not so
important instrument. 
(h) = Harmonic note. Touch the string lightly and release when 
string is stuck.
/ or \ = Slide up or down between notes.
~ = Hold note (trill).
! = Play it loud. I was just having fun.
