Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Who  will be at Sanssouci tonight?
The  boys that made me lose the blues,  and then my eyesight
 All together, playing games of cards
Gambling  the tiny shards of brass,  once my  heart
Who  will be at Sanssouci tonight?
I'm  lookin' through the window from the garden
Waitin'  for the call to my hotel  room
I'm  tired of writing elegies to boredom
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
I  don't care, I really want to go
So  I'm opening the door wide to the ballroom
Callin'  up some dude from my hotel  room
I'm  tired of writing elegies in general
I  just want to be at Sanssouci tonight
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
Ain't  nobody at Sanssouci tonight
 Tonight, tonight
