Original song and chords
D G A
Right next to the barracks, by the main gate
D
there stood a lantern, and stands there up to date
G A G A
We're going to meet there again
G A G D
Next to the lantern we will remain
A G D
Like then, Lili Marlene
A G A D
Like then, Lili Marlene
D G A
Our casted shadows appearing as one
D
and the love we had, clear to everyone
G A G A
and to all people that was quite plain
G A G D
when by the lantern we were stayin'
A G D
Like then, Lili Marlene
A G A D
Like then, Lili Marlene
D G A
Already says the sentry, lights-out's being called
D
that can cost you three days, comrad let's not get stalled
G A G A
We said goodnight right there and then
G A G D
How I would love be with you again
A G D
With you, Lili Marlene
A G A D
With you, Lili Marlene
D G A
It knows your nice walking, as you come along
D
every night it's burning, but it forgot me long
G A G A
And if it comes and I'll be slain
G A G D
Who by the lantern will be coming then
A G D
With you, Lili Marlene
A G A D
With you, Lili Marlene
D G A
Off the lands of silence, off the earthly ground
D
in a dream it lifts me, your kiss leaves me astound
G A G A
When the mist of night swirls into reign
G A G D
There by the lantern I will be again
A G D
Like then, Lili Marlene
A G A D
Like then, Lili Marlene
