Maura O'Connell Lyrics And Chords

The Scholar Lyrics And Chords. Recorded by Maura O'Connell and written by Thom Moore . Other well known Maura O'Connell songs include Maggie Song which Foster And Allen also covered.
​The guitar chords are for the version from Maura's album ''Just In Time''.

[C]The train to Sligo [F]moves too slow
As it [C]brings her from the school below
She wants to be home faster than
The train to Sligo [G]ever can
She [C]wonders where the passing time goes
Creeping by her window; my oh my
It’s getting [F]longer than 
It ever has be[C]fore. 

    [C]Eyes white as silver dollars
    I Can’t think why but she’s a scholar
    [Bb]Hold on it seems so long to learn 
    What’s right from [G]what is wrong
    [C]School books and fancy collars
    I might not care to be a scholar
    [Bb]‘Hold on’, her daddy tells her
    [G]‘Learn to sing your [C]song’.

[C]The train from Sligo moves too fast
Holidays are gone at last
Winter days are [F]here again
Please [C]promise me you’ll [G]write me then
It’s [C]two long weeks till I get home
I can’t help feeling so alone
If someone doesn’t [F]write me soon
I’ll [G]simply fade a[C]way

Lyrics With No Chords

​I hope you find the feet of a dancer, I hope you can sing in the rain
I hope you find all the easy answers to your pain 
   
It won't be easy, but what can I say
There will be trouble on the way 
And around every corner, there'll be terror and tears
But always remember that we're here.

I hope you find the feet of a dancer, I hope you can sing in the rain
I hope you find all the easy answers to your pain 
I hope you find love and affection, someone who cares
   I hope you find all the right direction everywhere. 
   Every where

Chorus
A shoulder to cry on, whenever you're low
You know you can rely on us, you know
'Cause there's nothing too crazy, and there's nothing too dear
But always remember that we're here.

I hope you find the feet of a dancer, I hope you can sing in the rain
I hope you find all the easy answers to your pain 
   
I hope you find love and affection, someone who cares
   I hope you find all the right direction everywhere. 
   Every where
Chorus
Bridge:
Even when the rain comes falling down
You know it's falling down on you

Lyrics Without The Chords

​
If the sun should tumble from the sky,
If the sea should suddenly run dry,
If you love me, really love me,
Make it happen, I won't care.
If it seems that everything is lost,
I shall smile and never count the cost,
If you love me, reall love me,
Then whatever happens, I   won't care.
Shall I catch a falling star,
Will I bring it where you are,
If you want me to, I will,
you can set me any task
I'll do any thing you ask


If you'll only love me still.
When at last our life on earth is through,
I shall share eternity with you,
If you love me, truly love me,
Then whatever happens, I   won't care 

(instrumental)
Shall I catch a falling star  
Shall I bring it where you are 
If you want me to I will
