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
