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

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

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

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"
