Standard Tuning EADGBe

There is a picking rhythm throughout song that alternates the bass note between the root 
and it's fifth, but that note may be played by a second guitar because it's very and 
in the song, but to get the feel for it it's something like this:

    B                                          E

People get shattered in many ways
