SANSSOUCI
Intro: A
A
Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?
A Dsus2 (200230) Esus (022200)
The boys that made me lose the blues, and then my eyesight
All together, playing games of cards
E A Dsus2 E
Gambling the tiny shards of brass, once my heart
A
Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?
A7 D
I'm lookin' through the window from the garden
Dm A
Waitin' for the call to my hotel room
F A
I'm tired of writing elegies to boredom
Esus A
I just want to be at Sanssouci tonight
Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?
Surely not the one that loves me truly, only
He's probably down at the stables, there
Gently polishing my cabriolet, only

A
I don't care, I really want to go
A7 (02020) D
So I'm opening the door wide to the ballroom
Dm A
Callin' up some dude from my hotel room
F A
I'm tired of writing elegies in general
Esus A
I just want to be at Sanssouci tonight
D B7 F E A
Tonight, tonight...
The candles seem to all have been blown out
Cupid's wings have cobweb rings and no one's about
Could it be I came to the wrong place?
But I swear I saw them climb the stairs, that sweet mystery
Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?
It's only when you're outside that you notice
Only from the window you can see them
Once the door is open, all will vanish
Esus D B7 F E A
Ain't nobody at Sanssouci tonight
Tonight, tonight
