Mongoloid - DEVO

I was thinking about one of my favorite Devo songs, Mongoloid - lyrics are a bit silly but the song is really great. Here's a version They actually have done it a number of different ways on different albums, but same basic chord progression.

So in my head I broke it down (without listening, just remembering) and guessed that the lowest chord might be open-E, so I put together a mental progression of A - D - E - G - A
Tried it on the guitar, and realized immediately that wasn't quite it, that A - C - F - G - A sounded more like it. Then I actually listened to the song, by the time I started trying to play they were on the second chord, I realized right away it wasn't C, it was D. So I transposed what I had to B, which gave me B - D - G - A - B and bingo! That was it! At this point I was playing with open chords, but that seemed a little unlikely, so I converted to barre chords and it seems to work really well. So, I'm pretty thrilled. There's actually a different part to the song I haven't totally nailed, I'm pretty close (it starts with the D, then eventually ends up on A until the main progression starts over)...
