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
