This one took some time to tab..but it's worth it. I tried to make it as detailed as 
possible..as you can see I put the times that each part is supposed to be played.  
This should be very accurate. Play the harmonics on the 3rd fret (3.75 to be exact). 
Don't move up a fret..I heard some people move up a fret when playing harmonics. 
Please rate this tab if you use it..thanks! 

PM - Palm mute the notes that have a - under them
p - Pull off
/ - Slide up
~ - Vibrato
* - Harmonic
