Rufus Wainwright - Sanssouci chords

[B] [F]
[A]
Who will be at Song Sioux City tonight?
The boys at Maine, blues, the [B] blues, and then [E] my eyesight.
All together playing games with cards.
Gambling the tiny [A] shards of brass.
[B] Once my [A] heart, who will be at Song Sioux City tonight?
I'm looking [C#] through the window from [D] the garden,
[Dm] waiting for a call in my [A] hotel room.
[F] I'm tired of writing elegies [A] to boredom.
I [B] just want to be [E] at Song Sioux City [A] tonight.
Who will be at Song Sioux City tonight?
Surely not the one that loves me [E] truly.
He's probably down at the stables there,
[Bm]
[E] gently polishing my [A] Cavioli.
[B]
Only [A] I don't care, I really want to go.
So I'm opening the doorway to [D] the ballroom,
[Dm] calling up some dudes from my [A] hotel room.
[F] I'm tired of writing elegies [A] in general.
I [E] just want to be at Song Sioux City [A] tonight.
[D] Tonight.
[B]
[F] [E] [A]
Tonight.
[D] [B]
[F] [E] [A]
The candles seem to all have been blown out.
Cupid's wings have cobweb rings [Bm] and no [E] one's about.
Could it be I came to the wrong place?
It's where I saw them [G#m] climb the stairs [A] that sweet [Bm] Mr.
[E] Ray
[A]
said we'll be at Song Sioux City tonight.
It's only when you're outside that you [D]
notice.
[Dm]
Only through the window you [A] can see them.
[F]
Once the door is open, all will [A]
vanish.
Ain't [E]
nobody at Song Sioux City [D]
tonight.
[B] [F]
[E] [A] [D]
Tonight.
[B] [F]
[E] [A] [D] Tonight.
