What's Going On Chords

(ver. 3)
Marvin Gaye
Here's my fairly simplistic version on Marvin Gayes' whats going on.
I tried a new chording diagram, but I also gave the chords tab directly
under it in case you can't figure it out.
Remember to play these chords loosely and kind of funky, and feel free
to use a CAPO if you want to change the key.
enjoy - Ian C.T. vom Saal
