Intro:
D MajorD B7B7 FF E MajorE
A augmentedA A augmentedA A augmentedA A augmentedA
A augmentedA
Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?
A augmentedA E7sus4E7sus4 E7E7
The boys that made me lose the blues and then my eyesight
E7sus4E7sus4
All together, playing games of cards
E7sus4E7sus4 A augmentedA E7sus4E7sus4 E7E7
Gambling the tiny shards of brass, once my heart
A augmentedA
Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?
A7A7 D MajorD
I'm looking through the window from the garden
Dm6Dm6 A augmentedA
Waiting for the call in my hotel room
FF A augmentedA
I'm tired of writing elegies to boredom
E7sus4E7sus4 E7E7 A augmentedA
I just want to be at Sanssouci tonight
A augmentedA
Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?
A augmentedA E7sus4E7sus4 E7E7
Surely not the one that loves me truly, only
E7sus4E7sus4
He's probably down at the stables, there
E7sus4E7sus4 A augmentedA E7E7
Gently polishing my Cabriolet, only
A augmentedA
I don't care, I really want to go
A7A7 D MajorD
So I'm opening the door wide to the ballroom
Dm6Dm6 A augmentedA
Calling up some dude from my hotel room
FF A augmentedA
I'm tired of writing elegies in general
E7sus4E7sus4 E7E7 A augmentedA
I just want to be at Sanssouci tonight
D MajorD B7B7 FF E MajorE A augmentedA
Tonight,
D MajorD B7B7 FF E MajorE A augmentedA
tonight

A augmentedA
The candles seem to all have been blown out
A augmentedA E7sus4E7sus4 E7E7
Cupid's wings have cobweb rings and no one's about
E7sus4E7sus4
Could it be I came to the wrong place?
E7sus4E7sus4 A augmentedA E7sus4E7sus4 E7E7
But I swear I saw them climb the stairs, that sweet master race
A augmentedA
Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?
A7A7 D MajorD
It's only when you're outside that you notice
Dm6Dm6 A augmentedA
Only through the window you can see them
FF A augmentedA
Once the door is open, all will vanish
E7sus4E7sus4 E7E7 A augmentedA
Ain't nobody at Sanssouci tonight
D MajorD B7B7 FF E MajorE A augmentedA
Tonight,
D MajorD B7B7 FF E MajorE A augmentedA
