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