[G↓] [G↓] [G↓] [G↓]

[G] Underneath the lantern, [D7] by the barrack gate
[D7] Darling I remember, the way you used to [G] wait
‘Twas [C] there that you whispered [G] tenderly
That [D7] you loved me, you’d [C] always [G] be
My [Am7] Lilli [D7] of the [G] lamplight
My [D7] own Lili Mar- [G] lene [D7] 


[G] Time would come for roll call, [D7] time for us to part
[D7] Darling I’d caress you, and press you to my [G] heart
And [C] there ‘neath that far-off [G] lantern light
I’d [D7] hold you tight, we’d [C] kiss good- [G] night
My [Am7] Lili [D7] of the [G] lamplight
My [D7] own Lili Mar- [G] lene [D7] 


[G] Orders came for sailing, [D7] somewhere over there
[D7] All confined to barracks, was more than I could [G] bear
I [C] knew you were waiting [G] in the street
I [D7] heard your feet, but [C] could not [G] meet
My [Am7] Lili [D7] of the [G] lamplight
My [D7] own Lili Mar- [G] lene [D7] 


[G] Resting in our billet [D7] just behind the line,
[D7] Even though we're parted, your lips are close to [G] mine
You [C] wait where that lantern [G] softly gleams,
Your [D7] sweet face seems, to [C] haunt my [G] dreams
My [Am7] Lili [D7] of the [G] lamplight
My [D7] own Lili Mar- [G] lene
My [Am7] Lili [D7] of the [G] lamplight
My [D7] own Lili Mar- [G↓] lene
