Lili Marlene chords by Gracie Fields

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       Cdim    A     F#7
'Twas there that you whispered tenderly
   D    Cdim    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        Cdim   A   F#7
And there 'neath that far off lantern light
  D    Cdim    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      Cdim  A   F#7
I knew you were waiting in the street
  D      Cdim  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       Cdim   A    F#7
You wait where that lantern softly gleams
   D     Cdim   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
