The original riff (or main theme) shifts between C and Csus4, but it's difficult to play
in standard tuning, and it can't really be expressed with chords.
So I'll recommend an alternative strumming pattern for the riff:
[C] [/A] [/G]
e|-------------------| B|------1-----1------| G|------0-----0------| D|----2-----2-----2--| A|--3-----0----------| E|--------------3----|
If you want to play the original riff, you can use a capo on the third fret and
transpose the chords (Beck plays the c-note an octave lower, though):
[Cadd4] [/A] [/G]
g |-------------------| D |-------------------| Bb|-------------------| F |------0-----0------| C |----4-----4-----4--| G |--5-----2-----0----|
