Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?
    Chord diagramA augmentedA                                    Chord diagramE7sus4E7sus4  Chord diagramE7E7
The boys that made me lose the blues and then my eyesight
    Chord diagramE7sus4E7sus4
All together, playing games of cards
Chord diagramE7sus4E7sus4                      Chord diagramA augmentedA      Chord diagramE7sus4E7sus4  Chord diagramE7E7
Gambling the tiny shards of brass, once my heart

Chord diagramA augmentedA
Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?
    Chord diagramA7A7                                  Chord diagramD MajorD
I'm looking through the window from the garden
Chord diagramDm6Dm6                          Chord diagramA augmentedA
Waiting for the call in my hotel room
    Chord diagramFF                           Chord diagramA augmentedA
I'm tired of writing elegies to boredom
  Chord diagramE7sus4E7sus4             Chord diagramE7E7          Chord diagramA augmentedA
I just want to be at Sanssouci tonight

Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?
    Chord diagramA augmentedA                            Chord diagramE7sus4E7sus4  Chord diagramE7E7
Surely not the one that loves me truly, only
     Chord diagramE7sus4E7sus4
He's probably down at the stables, there
Chord diagramE7sus4E7sus4                   Chord diagramA augmentedA      Chord diagramE7E7
Gently polishing my Cabriolet, only

 Chord diagramA augmentedA
I don't care, I really want to go
       Chord diagramA7A7                           Chord diagramD MajorD
So I'm opening the door wide to the ballroom
 Chord diagramDm6Dm6                         Chord diagramA augmentedA
Calling up some dude from my hotel room
    Chord diagramFF                           Chord diagramA augmentedA
I'm tired of writing elegies in general
       Chord diagramE7sus4E7sus4        Chord diagramE7E7           Chord diagramA augmentedA
I just want to be at Sanssouci 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?

Only through the window you can see them

Once the door is open, all will vanish

Ain't nobody at Sanssouci tonight
