Lili Marlene

A               F#m    D9              E7 
Underneath the lantern by the barrack gate  
E7          D9          E      E7       A 
Darling I remember the way you used to wait  
       D             C°       A          F#7 
'Twas there that you whispered tenderly  
      D       C°       Bm7    F#7 
That you lov'd me, you'd always be  
   D9    E7      A   F#7      D9     E7     A 
My Lilli of the lamplight, my own Lilli Marlene  
A                   F#m        D9              E7 
Time would come for roll call, time for us to part  
E7             D9           E        E7     A 
Darling I'd caress you and press you to my heart  
     D                C°     A      F#7 
And there 'neath that far off lantern light  
    D       C°        Bm7       F#7 
I'd hold you tight we'd kiss goodnight  
   D9     E7      A   F#7      D9     E7     A  
My Lillie of the lamplight, my own Lilli Marlene  
A               F#m      D9             E7 
Orders came for sailing somewhere over there  
E7               D9           E        E7       A 
All confined to barracks was more than I could bear  
   D            C°    A      F#7 
I knew you were waiting in the street  
   D            C°    A      F#7 
I heard your feet, but could not meet  
   D9     E7      A   F#7      D9     E7     A  
My Lillie of the lamplight, my own Lilli Marlene 
A            F#m    D9              E7 
Resting in a billet just behind the line  
E7                 D9            E      E7       A 
Even though we're parted, your lips are close to mine  
     D             C°      A       F#7 
You wait where that lantern softly gleams  
      D         C°     Bm7       F#7 
Your sweet face seems to haunt my dreams  
   D9     E7      A   F#7      D9     E7     A  
My Lillie of the lamplight, my own Lilli Marlene
