Misc Traditional – Song For The Mira (Ukulele)

C          F            C
Out on the Mira on warm afternoons

G          C            F              G
Old men go fishing with black line and spoons

    C             F                  C
And if they catch nothing they never complain

                 G         C
And I wish I was with them again

                  F                          C
The boys in their boats call to girls on the shore

G           C              F      G
Teasing the ones that they dearly adore

    C        F                    C
And into the evening the courting begins

                 G         C
And I wish I was with them again

F                 C
Can you imagine a piece of the universe

G                        C
More fit for Princes and Kings

     F                     C
I'll trade you ten of your cities

    D                     G
For Marion Bridge and the pleasure it brings

C          F                   C
Out on the Mira on soft summer nights

G        C            F          G
Bonfires blaze to the children's delight

     C               F                               C
They dance round the flames singing songs with their friends

                 G         C
And I wish I was with them again

             F                 C
And over the ashes stories are told

   G           C              F          G
Of witches and werewolves and Oak Island gold

    C            F                      C    
The stars on the river they sparkle and spin

                 G         C
And I wish I was with them again

           F                   C
Out on the Mira the people are kind

G                    C            F        G
They'll treat you to homebrew and help you unwind

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

                 G         C
And I wish I was with them again

             F                           C
But now I'll conclude with a wish you go well

G             C               F         G
Sweet be your dreams and your happiness swell

     C         F                   C
I'll leave you here for my journey begins

                    G         C          
And I'm going to be with them again

                    G         C
Yes I'm going to be with them again
