'And A Bang On the Ear'



Only 4 simple chords for this song. Best to play 
the C chord with the 'tail' of the G in place for
ease. This song really flows once you get into 
the rhythm. The same chords and progression are 
used throughout.

I would have loved to take her out but I was too shy to ask

The fullness of my feeling was never made clear

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 shes 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

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

Krista was a rover from canada she hailed
We crossed swords in San Francisco we both lived to tell the tale
I dont know now where she is oh but if I had her here
I'd give her my love with a bang on the ear

So my woman of the hearthfire, harbour of my soul
I watch you lightly sleeping and sense the dream that does unfold (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
