Title: Hit me with your Rhythm Stick
by Ian Dury and the Blockheads

The following is the basic tab for the rhythm part of the song. You need to listen
to the song to get to grips with the timing and feel. Use the full bar
chords instead of those shown if you must, but they don't add much, this is
really a bass player's song!

The guitar solo's not difficult so I haven't bothered tabbing it.
