Black Money by Culture Club
This has always been my favorite Culture Club song. I saw them perform on Aug. 10, 2015 at WolfTrap,
in Virginia. George said that this was also his very favorite song to perform. I was shocked that
I couldn't find a decent tab of it anywhere, and decided to give it a try.
I've selected the Album version, from Kissing To Be Clever. There are, of course, many key-variations
on live versions of the song. Do start the Bb chord on the 6th fret, which makes it easier to transition
to the Eb, also on the 6th fret.
