        C5                F5            C5        G5  G5 
Is it all in that pretty little head of yours? 
                   C5                 F5                C5      G5 
What goes on in that place in the dark? 
             C5                       F5      C5                   G5    G5 
Well I used to know a girl and I would have sworn 
                  F5             G5      C5  C5 
That her name was Veronica 


                  C5                          F5       C5             G5  G5 
Well she used to have a carefree mind of her own 
                C5        F5               C5       G5 
And a delicate look in her eye 
  C5                F5              C5                  G5     G5 
These days I'm afraid she's not even shure 
              F5      G5       C5  C5 
If her name is Veronica 


C5              D5                       D5 
Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes 
  D5               G5 
Veronica has gone to hide? 
       D5                   D5 
And all the time she laughs at those 
          D5                           G5 
Who shout her name and steal her clothes 
       F5             F#5 
Veronica - Veronica - Veronica

               C5             F5                  C5    G5      G5 
Did the days drag by? Did the favour wane? 
              C5                       F5                C5       G5 
Did he roam down the town all the time? 
                 C5                    F5                   C5            G5     G5 
Will you wake from a dream , with the wolf at the door 
                   F5       G5       C5  C5 
Reaching out for Veronica? 


        C5                F5           C5   G5  G5 
Well it was all sixty-five years ago 
                    C5                     F5                       C5       G5 
When the world was the street where she lived 
              C5                  F5             C5          G5  G5 
And a young man sailed on a ship in the sea 
                F5          G5      C5  C5 
With a picture of Veronica 


                  A5                      F5 
On the "Empress of India" 
        Bb5                                                  C5 
And as she closed her eyes upon the world 
          A5                                                      F5 
And picked upon the bones of last week's news 
          Bb5 
She spoke his name out loud again 


C5              D5                       D5 
Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes 
  D5               G5 
Veronica has gone to hide? 
       D5                   D5 
And all the time she laughs at those 
          D5                           G5 
Who shout her name and steal her clothes 
       F5             F#5 
Veronica - Veronica - Veronica

      C5         F5                C5     G5  G5 
Veronica sits in her favourite chair 
                C5             F5             C5      G5 
And she sits very quiet and still 
                 C5             F5                   C5        G5  G5 
And they call her name that they never get right 
             F5                         G5     C5     C5 
And if they don't then nobody else will 


                 C5                         F5       C5             G5  G5 
But she used to have a carefree mind of her own 
             C5        F5               C5       G5 
With devilish look in her eye 
                C5           F5             C5          G5  G5 
Saying "You can call me anything you like 
               F5         G5       C5  C5 
But my name is Veronica" 


C5              D5                       D5 
Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes 
  D5               G5 
Veronica has gone to hide? 
       D5                   D5 
And all the time she laughs at those 
          D5                           G5 
Who shout her name and steal her clothes 
       F5             F#5 
Veronica - Veronica - Veronica
