C F C/E G/D G
Is it all in that pretty little head of yours?
C F C G
What goes on in that place in the dark?
C F C/E G/D G
Well I used to know a girl and I would have sworn
F G Csus4 C
That her name was Veronica

C F C/E G/D G
Well she used to have a carefree mind of her own
C F C G
And a delicate look in her eye
C F C/E G/D G
These days I`m afraid she`s not even shure
F G Csus4 C
If her name is Veronica

C Dm Dm(maj7)
Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes
Dm7 G
Veronica has gone to hide?
Dm Dm(maj7)
And all the time she laughs at those
Dm7 G
Who shout her name and steal her clothes
F F°7
Veronica - Veronica - Veronica

G Dm/G Em/G

C F C/E G/D G
Did the days drag by? Did the favour wane?
C F C G
Did he roam down the town all the time?
C F C/E G/D G
Will you wake from a dream, with the wolf at the door
F G Csus4 C
Reaching out for Veronica?

C F C/E G/D G
Well it was all sixty-five years ago
C F C G
When the world was the street where she lived
C F C/E G/D G
And a young man sailed on a ship in the sea
F G Csus4 C
With a picture of Veronica

Am Fm
On the Empress of India
Bb C
And as she closed her eyes upon the world
Am Fm
And picked upon the bones of last week`s news
Bb
She spoke his name out loud again

C Dm Dm(maj7)
Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes
Dm7 G
Veronica has gone to hide?
Dm Dm(maj7)
And all the time she laughs at those
Dm7 G
Who shout her name and steal her clothes
F F°7
Veronica - Veronica - Veronica

G Dm/G Em/G

C F C/E G/D G
Veronica sits in her favourite chair
C F C G
And she sits very quiet and still
C F C/E G/D G
And they call her name that they never get right
F G Csus4 C
And if they don`t then nobody else will

C F C/E G/D G
But she used to have a carefree mind of her own
C F C G
With devilish look in her eye
C F C/E G/D G
Saying You can call me anything you like
F G Csus4 C
But my name is Veronica

C Dm Dm(maj7)
Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes
Dm7 G
Veronica has gone to hide?
Dm Dm(maj7)
And all the time she laughs at those
Dm7 G
Who shout her name and steal her clothes
F F°7
Veronica - Veronica - Veronica
