[C]Underneath the lantern, [G7]by the barrack gate
Darling I remember, the way you used to [C]wait
‘Twas [F]there that you whispered [C]tenderly
That [G7]you loved me, you’d [F]always [C]be
My [Dm7]Lilli [G7]of the [C]lamplight
My [G7]own Lilli Mar-[C]lene [G7]
[C]Time would come for roll call, [G7]time for us to part
Darling I’d caress you, and press you to my [C]heart
And [F]there ‘neath that far-off [C]lantern light
I’d [G7]hold you tight, we’d [F]kiss good-[C]night
My [Dm7]Lilli [G7]of the [C]lamplight
My [G7]own Lilli Mar-[C]lene [G7]
[C]Orders came for sailing, [G7]somewhere over there
All confined to barracks, was more than I could [C]bear
I [F]knew you were waiting [C]in the street
I [G7]heard your feet, but [F]could not [C]meet
My [Dm7]Lilli [G7]of the [C]lamplight
My [G7]own Lilli Mar-[C]lene [G7]
[C]Resting in our billet [G7]just behind the line,
Even though we're parted, your lips are close to [C]mine
You [F]wait where that lantern [C]softly gleams,
Your [G7]sweet face seems, to [F]haunt my [C]dreams
My [Dm7]Lilli [G7]of the [C]lamplight
My [G7]own Lilli Mar-[C]lene
My [Dm7]Lilli [G7]of the [C]lamplight
My [G7]own Lilli Mar-[C]↓ lene
