I remember this place.
_ I remember her in this place.
Sometimes she was happy, you know, she'd say,.
oh so-and-so said such-and-such and somebody said this and that.
and she'd talk about who knows what.
And one minute you'd be here and the next minute it'd be 40 years later.
_ .
So you just sit there and bounce around the years with her.

G Is it
Em all in that pretty little
G head of
C yours.
that goes on in that place in the dark.
When I used to know a girl and
G I couldn't
C swine.
that her
G name was
C Veronica.
Oh, she used to ever care for me,
G my little
C roll,.
and I'd get a good look in her eye.
These days I'm afraid she's not even sure.
if her name was Veronica.
Dm She used to go to
C# waves in Atlanta,.

C the days drag by in the

if you
F roam down the
C town all the

will you
F wake from your
C dream of the
G world.
that
F thought you
G now were
C Veronica.
Well,
F it was all
C 65
G years ago.
when the
C world was as pretty as she lived.
and a
F young man
C sailed on a
G ship in the
F sea.
with a
C picture on the
Am monitor.
I'm the Empress of
F Indiana.
Fm A# And as she closed her eyes
C upon the
Em world.
Am and picked upon the balls of
Fm last week's news,.
A# she spoke his name out loud again.

C Veronica sits in the favor of the church,.
F very
C quiet and still.
And they
F call her a
Em name that they never get
F right,.
and
G if they don't
C know, nobody else will.
She used to ever care for
G me, my little roll,.
the devil's put me in a rut,.
C so
F you can't
C call me anything like my name, Veronica.

Sometimes we'd just sit there and she wouldn't say anything.
and I wouldn't say anything.
And you
G could try and work out what was going on in her head,.
but I think it's something we don't understand,.
not yet
A anyway.
