Lili Marlene Uke tab by Vera Lynn

G                                     C
Underneath the lantern by the barrack gate
D                                     G
Darling I remember the way you used to wait
C                                                    G
'Twas there that you whispered tenderly
D
That you loved me
G
You'd always be
C                    G
My Lili of the lamplight
D                       G
My own Lili Marlene

G
Time would come for roll call
C
Time for us to part
D                                          G
Darling I'd caress you and press you to my heart
C                                              G
And there 'neath that far-off lantern light
D
I'd hold you tight
G
We'd kiss good-night
C                    G
My Lili of the lamplight
D                       G
My own Lili Marlene

G                                      C
Orders came for sailing somewhere over there
D                                              G
All confined to barracks 'twas more than I could bear
C                                       G
I knew you were waiting in the street
D
I heard your feet
G
But could not meet
C                    G
My Lili of the lamplight
D                       G
My own Lili Marlene

A                           Bm
Resting in a billet just behind the line
E7                                                 A
Even though we're parted your lips are close to mine
Bm                                            A
You wait where that lantern softly gleams
E7                                        A
Your sweet face seems to haunt my dreams
Bm                   A
My Lili of the lamplight
E7                     A
My own Lili Marlene

Bm                   A
My Lili of the lamplight
E7                     A
My own Lili Marlene
