Underneath the lantern [D] by the barricade Darling, I remember [Am] the way you [G] used to wait
[C] It was there that you [G] whispered tenderly That you [C] loved me, you'd [G] always be
[D] My lily [G] of the land's light, my [D] own lily, my land
Time would come for old [Am] Cole, time [D] for us to part
Darling, I'd caress you and press [G] you to my [C] heart
And there, neath that far-off [G] lantern light I'd hold you tight
We'd kiss goodnight, my lily of the land's light, [D] my own lily, [G] my land
Orders came for [Am] sailing somewhere [D] over there All confined to barracks was more [G] than I could bear
[C] I knew [Dm] you were waiting [G] in the street [D] I heard [C] your feet, [G] but could not meet
[Bm] My lily of [G] the land's light, my [D] own lily, my land
[Eb]
[Ab] Resting in a billet [Eb] just behind the line Even though we're parted, your lips are close to mine
[Db] You wait where that lantern softly [Bb] gleams Your sweet face seems to [Ab] haunt my dreams
[Eb] My lily of [Fm] the land's light, [Eb] my own lily, [Ab] my land
My [Eb] lily of [Ab] the land's light, [C] my [Gm] own lily, my
[Ab] land
