The Waterboys - Bang on the Ear

G   D                 G           C                   D
Lindsay was my first love she was in my class
G                  D                        G          C                     D
I would have loved to take her out but I was too shy to ask
       C                  G               C      G       D
The fullness of my feeling was never made clear
G      D                C               D                G
But I send her my love with a bang on the ear


Nora was my girl when I first was in a group
I can still see her to this day, stirring chicken soup
Now she's living in Australia working for an auctioneer
But I send her my love with a bang on the ear

Deborah broke my heart and I the willing fool
I fell for her one summer on the road to Liverpool
I thought it was forever but it was over in a year (oh dear)
But I give her my love with a bang on the ear

Instrumental with violin

The home I made with Bella became a house of pain
We weathered it together bound by a ball and chain
It started up in Fife, and ended up in tears (oh dear)
But I send her my love with a bang on the ear

Crystal was a rover from CANADA she hailed
We crossed swords in San Francisco we both lived to tell the tale
I don't know now where she is but oh if she was here
I'd give her my love with a bang on the ear

Instrumental

So my woman of the hearthfire, harbour of my soul
I watch you lightly sleeping and I sense a dream that doesn't fold (like 
gold)
You to me are treasure, you to me are dear
So I'll give you my love with a bang on the ear
