Hi, first post here...

I love this song, one of my favourites on Whats Going On. One of the things I like most is the beautiful (and original) chord progressions, so I had a crack at working it out.

I tried to transcribe this from listening to Marvins piano + Jamersons bass root notes on the track, so it may not translate well to guitar. There's alot of "augmented 5th with added 5th" chords, which is basically playing the full chord with the added 5th note -- i.e. if you're playing Em, just add the C note, and so on. It gives a great dissonant chord sound which is all over this song.

Its not completely right, so any corrections are very welcome.
