C5
Underneath the lamplight 
G5
By the barrack gate 

Darling I remember 
                    C5    C5
The way you used to wait  
F5                             C5
Twas there that you whispered tenderly 
     G5
That you loved me 

And would Falways be 
   D5   G5     C5
My Lilli of the lamplight 
   G5           C5
My own Lilli Marlene 
C5
Orders came for sailing 
G5
Somewhere over there 

All confined to barracks 
                      C5    C5
Was more than I could bear  
F5                       C5
I knew you were waiting in the street, 
        G5
I could hear your feet 
    F5
But could not meet 
   D5   G5     C5
My Lilli of the lamplight 
   G5           C5
My own Lilli Marlene 
C5
Resting in a billet 
G5
Just behind the line, 

Even though we're parted 
                       C5    C5
Your lips are close to mine  
F5                          C5
You wait where the lantern softly gleams 
     G5
Your sweet face seems 
   F5
To haunt my dreams 
   D5  G5      C5
My Lilli of the lamplight 
   G5           C5
My own Lilli Marlene 
   D5 G5    C5
My own Lilli Marlene 
   G5           C5
My own Lilli Marlene
