Capo 3 G G C G Verona left when she was only 16 Em Em D D Gave no reason but needing to fly G G C G She joined up with a traveling band, and lady luck she took her hand D D G G Left all her demons behind She wove her unbashed story all through the south Verona she carried the truth of a child She was a gypsy queen, her hair a raven sheen, She made love so strong and wild. Chorus C C G G Now they’re bringing her home, sweet Verona Em Em C (quick) G G She got her very own box in which to lay, C C G G Now they’re bringing her home, from Louisiana, Em Em D G And halleluiah lord, she’s home to stay Kept all the postcards that she sent to me Passed our way only once more, When mama died she stood just outside of the church, But she was gone when I ran out the door Chorus Now they’re bringing her home, sweet Verona, She got her very own box in which to lay, Now they’re bringing her home, from Louisiana, And halleluiah lord, she’s home to stay Dawn as she died, said they found her that way, Covered in the jewels that she bought at the pawn, They say her fire burned so bright that it kept her alive, And it burned til she was gone Chorus Now they’re bringing her home, sweet Verona, She got her very own box in which to lay, Now they’re bringing her home, from Louisiana, And halleluiah lord, she’s home to stay And halleluiah lord, she’s home to stay Band site: http://www.dellamae.com/fr_home
