Rhythm Stick

[thinman]

Have finally graduated onto playing "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick" but the band's a bit stuck on the chorus.

Over the "Hit me with your rhythm stick..." line on the bass it's F, G and then.......

I think it may be an A but our guitarist thinks it's Ab. Does anyone know what the guitar chords are too? Can't find anything on the net and find it hard to ork out from the record.

Definitely A.

The first two times.

Then F, G, Ab, A, Bb, A, Ab, G, Bb, C

Thanks chaps - but does anyone know what the guitar chords are over that bit?

Thanks - our guitarist has tried that one and it doesn't seem right. Looking at some video one of the Blockheads is playing something much further down the kneck.

As has already been said it's A. But I can't blame anyone for thinking it's Ab as it just sounds more natural.

BC member Zoe did a nice job too.

I'm glad I'm not the only that finds it knackering. It's the riff around F down at the first that does me in. Hitting the G# is a swine!

But does anyone know the guitar chords????
