I believe she did this song in Bb, we used C. A Petula Clark video can be found here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDhYJKc8oVc Petula Clark did a slightly different version on the Ed Sullivan show, a tweak to the lyrics.
We used a D Dududu strum, this strum pattern is sometimes split between two chords. The first chord gets the D D and the second chord gets the dudu. The u (up) following the D D is kind of strummed while your fingers are off the fretboard, moving to the next chord. For example, in the intro, the C gets the D D and the F gets the dudu, then the G gets the D D and the F again gets the dudu. Same thing with the Em Am and the Dm G7 in the body of the song. We also shortened the intro.

C Em Am Dm G7 Dm G7
It's a sign of the times that your love for me is getting so much stronger
C Em Am Dm G7 Dm G7
It's a sign of the times and I know that I won't have to wait much longer
Em Dm
You've changed a lot somehow from the one I used to know
Em Dm G7
For when you hold me now you feel like you never want to let me go

C Em Am Dm G7 Dm G7
It's a sign of the times that you call me up whenever you feel lonely
C Em Am Dm G7 Dm G7
It's a sign of the times that you tell your friends that I'm your one and only
Em Dm
I'll never understand the way you treated me
Em Dm G7
But when I hold your hand I know you couldn't be the way you used to be

C
Maybe my lucky star at last decided to shine
Bb Dm G7 Dm G7
Maybe somebody knows how long I've waited to make you mine

C Em Am Dm G7 Dm G7

C Em Am Dm G7 Dm G7

Em Dm
I'll never understand the way you treated me

Maybe my lucky star at last decided to shine

Maybe somebody knows how long I've waited to make you mine

C Em Am Dm G7 Dm G7
It's a sign of the times that you kiss me now as if you really mean it
C Em Am Dm G7 Dm G7
It's a sign of the times and a year ago I never could have seen it
Em Dm
Don't ever change your mind and take your love away
Em Dm G7
Just leave the past behind and baby only think of how it is today
C Em C Em
