Crossing Over
The beginning sequence has tapped harmonics (at the octave) for the
following chords:
Dm Dsus2 C Csus2
E 5 5 3 3
B 6 5 5 3
G 7 7 5 5
D 7 7 5 5
A 5 5 3 3

The next part is similar to the beginning of Black and Blue (the fingering):

Play the C, F, C, E, D, Dsus2
again, and then play D, F, Bb, A, G,
Csus2.
Verses:
Play a muted Dm, Dsus2, C, and Csus2. With the single ascending note on
the B string.

An F and A arpeggiated thing:

D -------3---------------3-----2--------2---------------2--------|

And - my favorite part - one of the 'screams' at the end is a harmonic on
the G-string at about 2.2 frets.
I reach across to the other side
To make contact with you
Golden slumber, you fill my dreams
When I make contact with you, oh
Don't ask me why I'm crossing over
Oh, crossing over
I never got to really know you
(what's it all about)
(Is there a way out)
The way I want to now
(outta here)
So many things I didn't tell you
(I'm like the rest, seeking an answer)
I wanna tell you now
Tell me why, oh lord, you're crossing over
(Why, why, why, why, why, why)
(I gotta bring you back... to see your face)
Oh, crossing over
(I wanna hear you call my name, to feel your touch)
Reaching out, reaching out
(Hear your voice again)
(To hear your voice again)
Crossing over
(To feel your touch)
Reaching out
(To feel you)
Crossing over
(To feel)
Reaching out, reaching out
Crossing over
