Time Clock Of The Heart chords by Culture Club

Chords with lyrics

That song has one crude key change at the end. I wish they had come up with
something more elegant, but this is how it is played on the version I have here.
There are lots of sevens, I have left some out, e. g. at the beginning of the
chorus when I felt that it sounded better.
I'm not at all sure about the D/G and F/Bb chords.
I play them as D/G 300233 (or 300230) and F/Bb x13211.
It sounds OK even if it's not absolutely correct. Please comment if you have any ideas.
