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

G Dm/G Em/G 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

G Dm/G Em/G 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

G Dm/G Em/G

G Dm/G Em/G G
