Biography:
Culture Club was a popular 1980s pop group, perhaps most noticeable for their gender-bending frontman George O'Dowd, known by his stage name Boy George. The other members of the band were Roy Hay on guitars and keyboards, Mikey Craig playing bass and Jon Moss (ex Damned, London, Adam and the Ants) on drums.
Their first album, 1982's Kissing to Be Clever, became a major international hit, spawning the hit singles "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" (which went 'all the way' in the BBC-Charts in late 1982)

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. Do start the Bb chord on the 6th fret, which makes it easier to transition to the Eb,
also on the 6th fret.
Intro: Bb , Eb, Bb , Eb
