I have reason to believe this should be enharmonically shown as Eb as opposed to D#. They sound exactly alike, but Eb is probably more common. Just my opinion, of course!

What is the strumming pattern for this song?

On the interlude, I hear the organ playing the Bb7 for 4 beats first and then the Eb for 4 measures and the guitar lick then comes in over the Ab chord for two measures and the interlude finishes on the Eb. I agree with Deadhead Pete. Eb is the more common key. Thanks much for putting up this all-time great summer song. I will use this tomorrow at my next gig.
