  C  F  C/E  G/D  C  F  C  G

  

          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

  

  

  G  F  Em  G/D

  

        C

  Veronica
