Is it all in that pretty little head of yours? C F C/E G

What goes on in that place in the dark? C F C G

Well I used to know a girl and I would have sworn C F C/E G

that her name was Veronica F G C

Well she used to have a carefree mind of her own C F C/E G

and a delicate look in her eye C F C G

These days I'm afraid she's not even sure C F C/E G

if her name is Veronica F G C

Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes, Dm Dmmaj7 Dm7

Veronica has gone to hide? G

And all the time she laughs at those who shout Dm Dmmaj7 Dm7

her name and steal her clothes G

Veronica F

Veronica D7

Veronica G

Did the days drag by? Did the favours wane C F C/E G

Did he roam down the town all the time? C F C G

Will you wake from your dream, with a wolf at the door, C F C/E G

Reaching out for Veronica F G C

Well it was all of sixty-five years ago C F C/E G

when the world was the street where she lived C F C G

And a young man sailed on a ship in the sea C F C/E G

With a picture of Veronica F G C

On the "Empress of India" Am Fm

and as she closed her eyes upon the world Bb C C/B

and picked upon the bones of last week's news Am Fm

she spoke his name out loud again Bb

Veronica sits in her favorite chair C F C/E G

and she sits very quiet and still C F C G

And they call her a name that they never get right C F C/E G

and if they don't then nobody else will F G C

But she used to have a carefree mind of her own, C F C/E G

with devilish look in her eye C F C G

Saying "You can call me anything you like, C F C/E G

but my name is Veronica" F G C
