Lili Marlene

G                           
Underneath the lantern by the 
          C
barrack gate
D                                 
Darling I remember the way you 
    G
used to wait
C                           
Twas there that you whispered 
                         G
tenderly
D
That you loved me
G
You'd always be
C                    G
My Lili of the lamplight
D                       G
My own Lili Marlene

G
Time would come for roll call
C
Time for us to part
D                                 
Darling I'd caress you and press 
         G
you to my heart
C                           
And there 'neath that far-off 
                   G
lantern light

D
I'd hold you tight
G
We'd kiss good-night
C                    G
My Lili of the lamplight
D                       G
My own Lili Marlene

G                                 
Orders came for sailing somewhere 
     C
over there
D                                 
All confined to barracks 'twas 
             G
more than I could bear
C                            
I knew you were waiting in the 
           G
street
D
I heard your feet
G
But could not meet
C                    G
My Lili of the lamplight
D                       G
My own Lili Marlene

A                           Bm
Resting in a billet just behind the 
line
E7                                
Even though we're parted your lips
                 A
 are close to mine
Bm                                
You wait where that lantern softly
            A
 gleams
E7                                
Your sweet face seems to haunt my 
        A
dreams
Bm                   A
My Lili of the lamplight
E7                     A
My own Lili Marlene

Bm                   A
My Lili of the lamplight
E7                     A
My own Lili Marlene
