Song For The Mira
Recorded by Anne Murray
Written by Allister MacGillivray
G C G
Out on the Mira one warm afternoon
D7 G C D7
Old men go fishing with black line and spoon
G C G
And if they catch nothing they never complain
D7 G
I wish I was with them again
C G
As boys in their boats call to girls on the shore
D7 G C D7
Teasing the one that they dearly adore
G C G
And into the evening the courting begins
D7 G
I wish I was with them again
C G
Can you imagine a piece of the universe
D7 G
More fit for princes and kings
C G
I'll trade you ten of your cities
A7 D7
For Marion Bridge and the pleasure it brings
G C G
Out on the Mira on soft summer nights
D7 G C D7
Bonfires blaze to the children's delight
G C G
They dance round flames singing songs with their friends
D7 G
I wish I was with them again
Repeat #3
G C G
Now I'll conclude with a wish you go well
D7 G C D7
Sweet be your dreams and your happiness swell
G C G
I'll leave you here for my journey begins
D7 G D7
I'm going to be with them going to be with them
G D7 G
I'm going to be with them again
Repeat #3
