Chords for Elvis Costello -- Veronica

_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] Is it on [Em] in that pretty little head of yours?
[C] What goes on in that place in the dark?
When I used to know a girl, [Em] I could swan
[F] That her name was [C] Ruvalica
Oh, but she used to never care [Em] for me, mine or her own
[D] And I'd dare look [C] in her eye
These days I'm [E] afraid she's not even sure
[C] If her name is Ruvalica
Who used [Dm] to go off to race [C#] in heaven, _ [Dm] _ _ [G] _
_ [Dm] _ _ [C#] _ _ [F] _ [G] she was close [F] Ruvalica
_ _ _ [F#] Ruvalica _
You see, Ruvalica
[Em] _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] Every day's dragged by in the faded way
[G] Did he roam down the town all the while?
Were you away from your dream [C] little world?
The dark, [D] and you're now Ruvalica
[C] _
Well, it was all a 65 years ago
[D] When the world was as sweet as she lived
And the young man sailed [Em] on a ship in the sea
[C] With a picture of a mother
[Am] And the Empress of India
_ [Fm] _ [A#] And as she closed her eyes upon [C] the _ [Em] world
[Am] And peaked upon the bones of last [Fm] week's news
[A#] She spoke his name out loud again
To his [Dm] supposed _ [A] _
_ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [A] _
[Dm] most chivalrous [G] fever Because [F] Ruvalica _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] Ruvalica sits in the faded chair
_ Quiet and still
And they call her a name [Em] that they never get right
And if they don't know [C] nobody else will
She used to never care [Em] for me, mine or her own
[D] And I'd dare look in her eye
[C] Saying you can't call me anything in life
But my name's [F] Ruvalica
She [Dm] used to boast in [C#] breaking hands
[Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ [Dm] And [C#] she laughed _ [Dm] her name [G] in secret Oh, [F] _ Ruvalica
_ [F#] _ Ruvalica
_ [G] Oh, _
_ [C] Ruvalica _ _ _ _ _
