Gordon Bok – Song For The Mira (Guitar)

                   D         A
Out on the Mira on warm afternoons

E          F#m          Bm             E
Old men go fishing with black-line and spoons

    A                           D        A
And if they catch nothing, they never complain

                 E          A
And I wish I was with them again

                          D            A
Boys on the boats call to girls by the shore

E           F#m            Bm      E
Teasing the ones that they dearly adore

    A                    D          A
And into the evening the courting begins

                 E          A
And I wish I was with them again

D                 A
Can you imagine a piece of the universe

Bm                       A
More fit for princes and kings

D                          C#m               B
I'll trade you ten of your cities For Marion Bridge

                    E
And the pleasure it brings

A                  D           A
Out on the Mira on warm summer nights

E         F#m          Bm           E
Campfires blaze to the children's delight

     A                              D              A
They dance round the flames singing songs to their friends

                 E          A
And I wish I was with them again

                         D           A
And into the evening the stories are told

   E           F#m            Bm         E
Of witches and werewolves and Oak Island gold

A                      D           A
Stars on the riverbed, sparkle and spin

                 E          A
And I wish I was with them again

D                 A
Can you imagine a piece of the universe

Bm                       A
More fit for princes and kings

D                          C#m               B
I'll trade you ten of your cities For Marion Bridge

                    E
And the pleasure it brings

A                    D          A
Out on the Mira, the people are kind

        E            F#m          Bm         E
They'll treat you to homebrew and help you unwind

    A                           D            A
And if you come broken, they'll see that you mend

                 E          A
I wish I was with them again

D                 A
Can you imagine a piece of the universe

Bm                       A
More fit for princes and kings

D                          C#m               B
I'll trade you ten of your cities For Marion Bridge

                    E
And the pleasure it brings

                           D           A
I'll leave you now, with a wish you go well

E                    F#m               Bm        E
Good health and good fortune, may your happiness swell

A                          D         A
I'll leave you now, for my journey begins

                    E          A
And I'm going to be with them again

D                 A
Can you imagine a piece of the universe

Bm                       A
More fit for princes and kings

D                          C#m               B
I'll trade you ten of your cities For Marion Bridge

                    E
And the pleasure it brings
