verse 1 

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, 
    C            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 
C          G              D           G 
for Marion Bridge and the pleasure it brings 

verse 2 
C                              F            C 
As 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, 
     C           G         C 
And I wish I was with them again.

verse 3 
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 
      C          G         C 
And I wish I was with them again

verse 4 
C                      F           C 
And over the ashes the stories are told 
G              C              F          G 
Of witches and wearwolves and Oak Island Gold 
C                           F           C 
The stars on the river they sparkle and Spin 
      C          G         C 
And I wish I was with them again
