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 sure
       F         G    Csus4  C
If her name is Veronica

[Chorus]
          Dm                 Dmmaj7
Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes
  Dm7        G
Veronica has gone to hide?
    Dm               Dmmaj7
And all the time she laughs at those
    Dm7                G
Who shout her name and steal her clothes
  F          F#dim7
Veronica - Veronica - Veronica

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                            Bb Bb
She spoke his name out loud again

[Chorus]
          Dm                 Dmmaj7
Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes
  Dm7        G
Veronica has gone to hide?
    Dm               Dmmaj7
And all the time she laughs at those
    Dm7                G
Who shout her name and steal her clothes
  F          F#dim7

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"

[Chorus]
