[C] There's a moon over Bourbon Street [F] tonight
I see faces as they pass beneath the [E] [Cm] pale lamp [Bm] light
[Db] I've no choice [C] but to follow that call
[D] The bright [G] lights, the people, [Db] [C] and the moon and all
I pray every day [F] to [G] be [B] strong
[Cm] For I know what I do must be [E] [Eb] wrong
[D]
[Db] Oh, you'll never [C] see my shade or hear the sound of my [Eb] feet
[Db]
While there's a moon [F] over [C] Bourbon [Fm] Street
[Bb] It [Fm]
[Bb] [Fm] [Bbm] [C]
[Fm] [Bbm] [Bbm] was many years [C] ago that [Fm] I became what I am
I [G] was trapped in this [C] life [Fm] like an innocent lamb
Now [Db] I can never show [Fm] my face [C] at noon
[Fm] And [D] you'll only see [G] me walking [Db] by the light of [C] the moon
[Bbm] The brim [C] of my hat [Fm] hides the eye of a beast
[Bbm] Of the face [C] of a sinner, [Fm] but the hands of a priest
[Db] Oh, you'll never see [Fm] my shade or hear the [E] sound of my [Fm] feet
[Db] While there's a moon [C] over Bourbon [Fm] Street
[Bbm] [Gm] [Fm] [Bbm] She [Fm]

[Db] [Eb] [Fm] [G] [Cm]
[Fm] [Bb] [Ab] [C] [G]
[Fm] [G] [Gm] [Eb] [C]
[Bbm] walks every [C] day [Fm] through the [C] streets of New [Fm] Orleans
[D]
[G] She's innocent and [C] young [Fm] from a family of means
[Db] I have stood [D] many times [Fm] outside her window at night
[D] To struggle with my [G] instinct [Db] in the pale [C] moonlight
[G] How could I be this [C] way [Fm] when I pray to God above?
[Bbm] I must love what I [C] destroy and [Fm] [C] destroy the thing I [Ab] love
[Fm]
[Db] Oh, you'll never see [Fm] my shade or hear the [C] sound of [Fm] my feet
