There is basically one main riff in this song repeated over:
G--------0----------------------------|
D------3----1-------------------------|
A--------------3----------------------|
E--1----------------------------------|
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_sunshine_underground/way_it_is_btab.html ]
This riff then changes slightly to:
G--------------------------------------|
D--------------------------------------|
A--------3---1-------------------------|
E--1--3---------4----------------------|
And then back to the original riff
