Whats Happening Brother Chords

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

Its not completely right, so any corrections are welcome.
