Lili Marlene Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Underneath the lantern
[D]by the barrack gate
darling i remember
the way you used to [G]wait
't[C]was there that you
whispered ten[D]derly
that you loved me
you'd [G]always be
my [D]lili of the [G]lamplight
my [D]own [G]lili marlene
Time would come for roll call
[D]time for us to part
darling i'd caress you
and press you to my [G]heart
and [C]there neath that [D]far [C]off lan[G]tern light
[D]i'd hold you tight
we'd kiss [G]good night
[D]my lili of the lam[G]plight
my [D]own [G]lili marlene
Orders came for sailing
[D]somewhere over there
all confined to barracks
'twas more than i could [G]bear
i [C]knew you were [D]wait[C]ing [D]in [G]the street
[D]i heard your feet
but could not [G]meet
[D]my lili of the lam[G]plight
my [D]own [G]lili [D]mar[Eb]lene[Ab]
Resting in our billet
[Db]just be[Eb]hind the line
even though we're parted
your lips are close [Ab]to mine
[Db]you wait where that lantern
softly [Ab]gleamed
your [Eb]sweet face seems
to [Ab]haunt my dreams
my [Eb]lili of the [Ab]lamplight
my [Eb]own l[Ab]ili marlene
my [Eb]lili of the [Ab]lamplight
my [Eb]own lili marlene.
