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

[C#] [G#]
[D#] [C#]
[G#] She walks every day [C#]
through [F#m] the [F] streets of New [F#m] Orleans
[D#]
[G#] She's innocent and young [C#] from [F#m] a [G#] family of [F#m] means
I have [D] stood many [D#] times outside her window at night
[F#m]
To struggle with my instinct [G#] in [D] the pale [D] moonlight
[C#]
[G#] How could I be this way [C#] when I [F#m] pray to [F] God [F#m] above
[D#] I must [G#] love what I destroy [C#] and destroy the thing I love
[A] [F#m] Oh, [D] you'll never see my [F#m] shade or hear the sound [F] of my [C#m] feet
[D#] While [D] there's a moon over [C#] Bourbon [C#] Street
Thanks for watching!
