For theses false harmonics your thumb have to be a little bit further than
half
the space between your last fret and your tailpiece. Play the note with your
nail.

Note : This is my first tab so I know there are lots of things wrong I tried
my best but feel free to make some corrections,
like I can't figure out the time signatures (I've only been playing for 3
years), I tried to space more the frets when
there is a break but still, even the way I placed it all is just for eye
confort. I hope it helps.
