        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

               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

      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
