Lili Marlene chords by Gracie Fields
Guitar chords with lyrics
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
