Phew.. That was the "intro," now for the final part:

First you should play this:

D MajorD|-0--1--0--4--3--1--1--2--3--1--1--1--
A augmentedA|-0--1--0--4--3--1--1--2--3--1--1--1--
D MajorD|-0--1--0--4--3--1--1--2--3--1--1--1--
                  *

Then right after, play this:

D MajorD|-1--1--4--3--1--1--2--3--1--1--1--
A augmentedA|-1--1--4--3--1--1--2--3--1--1--1-- 6x
D MajorD|-1--1--4--3--1--1--2--3--1--1--1--
   *  *        *  *        *  *

D MajorD|-1--1--4--3--1--1--2--3--1--1--4--1--1--5--
A augmentedA|-1--1--4--3--1--1--2--3--1--1--4--1--1--5--
D MajorD|-1--1--4--3--1--1--2--3--1--1--4--1--1--5--
   *  *        *  *        *  *     *  *

D MajorD|-5--5--5--5--5--5--5-----5--0--3-----

                    Harmonics

Then it gets outta control but I've done the best I possibly could.
