G7By the barrack gate 
Darling I remember 
The way you used to Cwait C7 
FTwas there that you whispered Ctenderly 
That G7you loved me 
And would Falways be 
My Dm7Lilli G7of the Clamplight 
My G7own Lilli MarClene 

COrders came for sailing 
G7Somewhere over there 
All confined to barracks 
Was more than I could Cbear C7 
FI knew you were waiting Cin the street, 
I could G7hear your feet 
But Fcould not meet 
My Dm7Lilli G7of the Clamplight 
My G7own Lilli MarClene 

CResting in a billet 
G7Just behind the line, 
Even though we're parted 
Your lips are close to Cmine C7 
FYou wait where the lantern Csoftly gleams 
Your G7sweet face seems 
To Fhaunt my dreams
