Obviously there's no guitar in this song, and a lot of the time
there aren't really any accompanying chords either - so this is
just an interpretation for playing it on guitar, derived from the
synth strings and the bass.
I play the song using power chords (e.g. the G5 shape shown above),
rather than full chord shapes, on a good distorted sound for a
rock interpretation, although for funk/disco I would use either
phaser or auto-wah.
