G                   C            G
1 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

G                               C              G
2 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
Chorus
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
3 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 Chorus
G                        C           G
4 And over the ashes the stories are told

D7                  G           C          D7
Of witches and werewolves and Oak Island gold. 

G                         C            G
Stars on the riverface sparkle and spin.

              D7         G
I wish I was with them again

G                      C          G
5 Out on the Mira, the people are kind -

D7                     G            C          D7
They'll treat you to homebrew, and help you unwind. 

G                         C                   G
And if you come broken they'll see that you mend

               D7        G
I wish I was with them again 
Repeat Chorus
G                         C           G
6 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

G                    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
