 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.
