Listen to the song, and I'm sure you'll figure out the rhythm pretty quickly.

Intro 
The intro is just taking Em and sliding it up and then down each induvidual fret, basically it's a chromatic walk-up. NOTE: Make sure you only pick the A string and D string on the Em, all those open strings make too much noise.

Lyrics to Quiet:

Quiet, I am sleeping,
In here, we need a little hope
For years, I've been sleeping
Helpless, couldn't tell a soul

Be ashamed
Mess you've made
My eyes never forget, you see
Behind me

Silent metal mercies
Castrate boys to the bone
Jesus, are you listening
Up there, to anyone at all

We are the fossils, the relics of our time
Mutilate the meanings so they're easy to deny

Be ashamed
Of the mess you've made
My eyes never forget, you see
Behind me

Quiet, quiet
I am sleeping
Quiet, quiet
I am sleeping
Quiet, shut up
I don't trust you
Shut up, shut up
I can't hear you

Be ashamed
Of the mess you've made
My eyes never forget, you see
Behind me

Behind me, the grace of falling snow
Cover up everything you know
Come save me from the awful sound
Of nothing
