          Gm7        C7
There's a moon over Bourbon Street
   Fm
Tonight
       Gm7           C7
I see faces as they pass beneath the
Fm
Pale lamp light
          C#           C7
I've no choice but to follow
      Fm
That call
     Dm7                G7
The bright lights, the people,
         Gm7      C7
And the moon and all
   Gm7        C7
I pray every day
        Fm
To be strong
       Gm7        C7
For I know what I do
         Fm
Must be wrong
           C#           C7
Oh you'll never see my shade
             Fm
Or hear the sound of my feet
                 C#        C7       Fm
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street

It was many years ago
That I became what I am
I was trapped in this life
Like an innocent lamb
Now I can never show my face at noon
And you'll only see me walking
By the light of the moon
The brim of my hat
Hides the eye of a beast
I've the face of a sinner
But the hands of a priest
Oh you'll never see my shade
Or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon
Over Bourbon Street

She walks everyday through
The streets of New Orleans
She's innocent and young
From a family of means
I have stood many times
Outside her window at night
To struggle with my instinct
In the pale moon light
How could I be this way
When I pray to god above
I must love what I destroy
And destroy the thing I love
Oh you'll never see my shade
Or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon
Over Bourbon Street
