This tab is of the album version, on one guitar. I'm pretty sure there are
actually two guitars on the record. Standard tuning.

BREAK-DOWN:
Most people seem to play this routed on 5 on the the A string, but
I think the heavy bass of playing it at 10 on the E string sounds
better. It can be played either way, but always play the harmonics
in the same play.
