Chords for Perry Como - Lili Marlene 1944

This is the story of Lily Marlain.
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Would you like to [C] hear the story
[A] Of a girl that many soldiers [Bb] know?
It's a tale of love [Eb] in all its glory.
They [C] tell when the lights are soft [Bb] and low
Underneath the [Gm] lamppost by the barricade
Standing all [F] alone every night you'll see her wait.
[Eb] She waits for a boy [Cm] who marched away
And though he's gone [Gm] she hears him say
Oh [Bb] promise you'll be true
[Eb] Fare [Cm] thee well Lily Marlain
Till I [E] return to you
Fare thee well [F] Lily Marlain
This [D] is the story of Lily [Bb] Marlain.
With a [Eb] kiss she gave her promise
[A] To be constant as the stars [Eb] above _
Every soldier knows she's kept her promise
And [Cm] she has been faithful to her [Bb] love.
Underneath [Cm] the lamppost by [F] the barricade
Standing all [Cm] alone every night you'll see her wait
For this [G] is the place a vow was made
And [F] breezes sing her serenade.
Oh promise [Bb] you'll be true
Fare thee [F] well Lily [Gm] _ Marlain
[B] Till I return [Bb] to you
Fare [Cm] thee well Lily [Bb] Marlain
_ This is the story [Ab] of Lily Marlain.
[F]
Though each [D] tale must have an ending
No one knows just what the end will be
But tonight when twilight [Eb] is descending
If you'll come along here's what you'll see
Underneath the lamppost [C] by the [C] barricade
Standing all alone every night you'll see her [Eb] wait
And as they go marching [Bb] to the fray
The soldiers [Cm] all salute and say
We tell him [Ab] you've been true
[Gm] Fare thee [C] well Lily [A] Marlain
[F]
Till he returns to you
Fare thee well Lily _ _ _ [Bb] Marlain _
