At about 2:15 into the song, Katrina is singing (relatively) softly "walking on sunshine..... walking on sunshine....." and one of the guitars starts strumming a single chord, and I can't for the life of me work out what that damn chord is.

The reccorded version chords in the meat of the song are simply A#, D# & E# (or A, D & E with capo on 1st)

Anyone have a clue?

Thanks in advance...

I figured if you knew the chord you'd know the song...

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest		In the recorded version it's two guitars (One acoustic, one electric) playing the same single note.

Location: UK		Single F note sounds right to me, or you can add a note octave higher (on 1st string).

I hear a chord too- I think it is some kind of open voicing of an A#.

With a copo on the first fret, I would play (relative to the capo) X02200
