Maura O'Connell - The Scholar

[Intro]

C

[Verse 1]

F
The train to Sligo moves too slow

C F
As it brings her from the school below

C F
She wants to be home faster than

C G
The train to Sligo ever can

[Verse 2]

C F
She wonders where the passing time goes

C F C
Creeping by her window, my oh my

F
It’s getting longer than

G C
It ever has before

[Chorus]

Eyes wide as silver dollars

I Can’t think why, but she’s a scholar

Bb
Hold on, it seems so long to learn

G
What’s right from what is wrong

C
Oh, school books and fancy collars

I might not care to be a scholar

Bb
'Hold on' her daddy tells her

G C
'Learn to sing your song'

[Verse 3]

F
The train from Sligo moves too fast

C F
When holidays are gone at last

C F
Winter days are here again

C G
Please promise me you’ll write me then
