Please help me figure out these funk/motown chord lines for a rehearsal this Saturday

I've got my first rehearsal with a new band this weekend and there are a few songs I might not get time to look at properly and I'm not yet too experienced with motown/funk stuff to be able to pick the chords straight away.

Just if people can, could you please tell us what the chord lines are in a few of these songs or even just point me in the right direction (ie. it's a 2/5/1 in B or whatever)...I'm sure there are people on here that must know some of them ;)

Jackson 5 - I Want You Back.
Charles Wright - Express Yourself.
DIG (Direction In Groove) - The Favourite.
Aretha Franklin - Rock Steady.
The JB's - Pass The Peas.

Any help would be golden...and I shall continue to sing the praises of the fine citizens of planet Earth who grace this forum with their presence (bloody presence knob!)...seriously, no sarcasm intended :D

I don't know if this software works but I only just put it on my site. It is suppose to recognize the chords in a song. I haven't tested it myself yet. If you have the music to hand you can download the Trial and see if it works. I will put the page up where I just installed the software so that if you click on the homepage etc at least my site will get some recognition (small amount of dosh too if you end up buying it) from the software company. Keep me in their good books. Not sure such links are allowed on this forum as I only just joined it. If they are not then I am sure someone will tell me quite quickly and I will not do so again. Can't see any forum rules so far? Here is the software page:

PS Hope this software does work as it sure will make things a lot easier for me as well. Trying to locate sheet music for various song is bit iffy to say the least.

Cool...I'm the most skeptical person ever when it comes to stuff like this but I'll give it a go.

Hahahaha that program seems like a giant load of...well, let's just say it didn't work with the song The Favourite by DIG :blackeye:

Blast that is a shame. Was hoping it would work well. Thank goodness there is a trial download. Probably only works on pretty simple songs. I better try it myself. In what way did it fail?
