    I've been playing this song for years...and there's absolutely no minor chords in that song, I agree.

    There’s no Minor in the Song, trust me I’m a T.Rex aficionado.
    Chords are EAG. But you can use 7ths.
    The Songs called Get It On Number 1 in UK 1971.
    Called Bang a Gong in USA as a Band called Chase had a Song out the same time called Get it On, so T.Rex had to change the Title, where it got to Number 10 their only Top 10 US Hit.

      @@funandeasyguitarwithjimpau9875 you’re referring to the Movie Born to Boogie from 1972, directed by Ringo Starr at the Empire Pool Wembley ( not Wembly).
      Two Concerts were played, a Matinee and Evening Concert.
      The Chord used is not Am but probably an Amaj7. Nowhere in T.Rex Guitar & Tablature has an Am Chord been used in Get it On…..ever!! You can substitute with Power Chords E5 A5 and G5 or even G6, Am doesn’t sound correct and isn’t correct and Bolan played strange shapes & variations of Chords even he never knew the name of, it’s documented.

    Hey now I don’t think it goes to an A minor during the chorus, it’s just a straight A chord. 🎸

      Not to argue with you but it doesn't sound quite right. Same on your second barre chord in the chorus. No offense, just saying.
