This song has a few different guitar parts overlayed on each other that change slightly throughout the song.
A cool way to use layers! And there are some effects on the guitars, probably shimmer, tremolo, delay,
all that good stuff to give it that "shivery" sound.
Guitar 1 - This guitar plays the same riff throughout the song.
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-6--3-6--3~----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Guitar 2 - This one comes in and out at different times, but also repeats the
two same licks thoughout the song.
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------6--4b-------------------------------------------------|
G|---3b--5--------------------5~---------------------------------------------|
D|-5-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Guitar 3 - The main riff that we hear at the beginning of the song, has slight
variations but plays throughout. This is the guitar with the "shivery" sound.
e|------3-------------------------3------------------------------------------|
B|----4----6--4-6p4-------------4----6--4-6p4-/8~----------------------------|
G|--5---------------5~--------5----------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Around 0:36 Guitar 3 does a slight varitation:
e|------3-------------------------3------------------------------------------|
B|----4----6--4-6p4-------------4----6--4-6p4--4/8~/13~----------------------|
G|--5---------------5~--------5----------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then guitar 3 seems to switch around, and does the same riff but with the two parts reversed:
e|------3-------------------------3------------------------------------------|
B|----4----6--4-6p4-/8~---------4----6--4-6p4--------------------------------|
G|--5-------------------------5---------------5~-----------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
And then around 0:50 it has another slight variation:
e|------3-------------------------3------------------------------------------|
B|----4----6--4-6p4-------------4----6--4-6p4--4/8~/13--11-13--11-13-11-13---|
G|--5---------------5~--------5----------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
At 1:24 guitar 3 does something a little different:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--11-13-11-13----8-8-8\5-----4-6-------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------5-----------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
At 2:29 There's a riff that's hard to make out, but I believe it is this:
e|------3--------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----4-----6---4---4-6-----11--13--11--13--11--13--11-13-11-13-11-13--11----|
