Veronica
Christy Moore
intro; D A  D A
[verse]
A       D
In the broad daylight of a Summer’s day,
       G
On the Cork to Dublin motorway.
  D
Suddenly the singing birds,
                        A 
Were startled in their song.

[verse]
A        D
In the quiet of that moment,
       G
Our world went out of kilter.
D
In that split second,
   A            D
Veronica was gone.

[verse]
A       D
But you will never silence her,
G
Your story will be written,
     D
Her spirit won’t rest easy,
     A            D
Until her job is done.

[verse]
A      D
With fists and boots you broke her bones,
       G
You gunned her down at home,
        D
But as soon as she was able, 
      A               D
She faced you once again.

[chorus]
G                              D
Veronica, Veronica, Veronica, warrior woman,
A
Veronica, Veronica, Veronica,
G                 D
I offer you this song.
A  D  

[verse]
A     D
You who made the phone call,
     G
And you who took the message down,
     D
You who hired the hit men,
                          A
And you who hatched the plan,

[verse]
A    D
You who drew the money down,
     G
And you who paid it over,
    D
You who remain silent,
      A                D
You are guilty, every one.

[chorus]
G                              D
Veronica, Veronica, Veronica, warrior woman,
A
Veronica, Veronica, Veronica,
G                 D
I offer you this song.
A  D

   A            G      D
Veronica was gone.
