Song For The Mira

D          G            D
Out on the Mira on warm afternoons
A          D            G              A
Old men go fishing with black line and spoons
    D             G                  D
And if they catch nothing they never complain
                 A         D
And I wish I was with them again

                  G                          D
The boys in their boats call to girls on the shore
A           D              G      A
Teasing the ones that they dearly adore
    D        G                    D
And into the evening the courting begins
                 A         D
And I wish I was with them again

Chorus:
G                 D
Can you imagine a piece of the universe
A                        D
More fit for Princes and Kings
     G                     D
I'll trade you ten of your cities
    E                     A
For Marion Bridge and the pleasure it brings

D          G                   D
Out on the Mira on soft summer nights
A        D            G          A
Bonfires blaze to the children's delight
     D               G                               D
They dance round the flames singing songs with their friends
                 A         D
And I wish I was with them again

             G                 D
And over the ashes stories are told
   A           D              G          A
Of witches and werewolves and Oak Island gold
    D            G                      D
The stars on the river they sparkle and spin
                 A         D
And I wish I was with them again


Chorus:
           G                   D
Out on the Mira the people are kind
A                    D            G        A
They'll treat you to homebrew and help you unwind
    D           G                           D
And if you come broken they'll see that you mend
                 A         D
And I wish I was with them again

             G                           D
But now I'll conclude with a wish you go well
A             D               G         A
Sweet be your dreams and your happiness swell
     D         G                   D
I'll leave you here for my journey begins
                    A         D
And I'm going to be with them again
                    A         D
Yes I'm going to be with them again
