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 
 
 
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 
 
 
 
           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
