G                   C         G
Out on the Mira on warm afternoons
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
As boys in their boats call to girls on the shore
D7          G              C       D7
Teasing the ones that they dearly adore
    G                    C          G
And into the evening the courting begins
             D7         G
I wish I was with them again


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
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


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
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
                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


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
