[Verse 1]

Lindsay was my first love she was in my class
G G/A G C G 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 G/A G C G G/A G
But I send her my love with a bang on the ear
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
