THE SONG OF THE MIRA

Intro     C      G7     C

C                  F         C
Out on the Mira on warm afternoon
G7         C            F              G7
Old men go fishing with black line and spoon
       C                       F         C
And if they catch nothing they never complain
             G7         C
I wish I was with them again

C                              F             C
As boys in their boats call to girls on the shore
G7           C             F      G7
Teasing the one that they dearly adore
     C                    F        C
And into the evening the courting begins
             G7         C
I wish I was with them again

F                  C
Can you imagine a piece of the universe
G7                        C       C7
More fit for princes and kings
F                           C
I'll trade you ten of your cities
            D7                        G7
For Marion Bridge and the pleasure it brings

C                  F         C
Out on the Mira on soft summer nights
G7        C            F            G7
Bonfires blaze to the children's delight
      C                           F               C
They dance round flames singing songs with their friends
             G7         C
I wish I was with them again

F                  C
Can you imagine a piece of the universe
G7                        C      C7
More fit for princes and kings
F                           C
I'll trade you ten of your cities
            D7                         G7
For Marion Bridge and the pleasure it brings

C                  F         C
Now I'll conclude with a wish you go well
G7             C              F          G7
Sweet be your dreams and your happiness swell
      C                     F       C
I'll leave you here for my journey begins
     C           G7             C          G7
I'm going to be with them, I'm going to be with them
      C          G7        C
I'm going to be with them again
