C
Underneath the lamplight 
G7
By the barrack gate 

Darling I remember 
                    C    C7
The way you used to wait  
F                             C
Twas there that you whispered tenderly 
     G7
That you loved me 

And would Falways be 
   Dm7   G7     C
My Lilli of the lamplight 
   G7           C
My own Lilli Marlene 
C
Orders came for sailing 
G7
Somewhere over there 

All confined to barracks 
                      C    C7
Was more than I could bear  
F                       C
I knew you were waiting in the street, 
        G7
I could hear your feet 
    F
But could not meet 
   Dm7   G7     C
My Lilli of the lamplight 
   G7           C
My own Lilli Marlene 
C
Resting in a billet 
G7
Just behind the line, 

Even though we're parted 
                       C    C7
Your lips are close to mine  
F                          C
You wait where the lantern softly gleams 
     G7
Your sweet face seems 
   F
To haunt my dreams 
   Dm7  G7      C
My Lilli of the lamplight 
   G7           C
My own Lilli Marlene 
   Dm7 G7    C
My own Lilli Marlene 
   G7           C
My own Lilli Marlene
