I don't even know the song, but I know you can get sort of a bell sound by pulling one string over another and fretting it high up on the neck. For example, pull the low E string up away from the fretboard and flip it over the A string. Fret both strings somewhere high up on the neck to hold them in place, and play them. I hope that helps somewhat.
