[F#]There's a moon over [B]bourbon
street [Em]tonight[B][Em]
I [E]see [F#]faces [C]as they [B]pass beneath
[E]the [Em]pale [B]lamplight
[D]I'v[C#]e no choice b[C]ut to follow[B]
that [E]call[Em][F#][G][B]
The [C#]bright lights the [F#]people
and [C]the moon and [B]all
I [F#]pray [B]everyday to be [Em]strong[F#][G]
[Em]For I know[F#] what I do m[B]ust
be [Em]wrong[B][D]
[C#dim]Oh you'll never see[C] my sh[G]ade or[Bm][B]
hear [Em]the sound of my [B]feet[D]

[Verse 2]
It [F#dim]was many years ago[B][Bdim]
that I [Em]became what I am
[C#dim]I was trapped i[F#]n this l[F#dim]ife[Bm]
[Bdim]like an inno[Em]cent lamb
Now I [C]can never show my
[Em]face [B]at [Em]noon
And [C#dim]you'll only see me wa[F#]lking
by [C]the light of [B]the moon
The [F#dim]brim of my hat[Bdim]
hides the [Em]eye of a beast
I've the [F#dim]face of a sinner[B][Bdim]
but [Em]the hands of a priest
Oh you'll [C]never see my [Em]shade or
hear [B]the sound [Em]of my feet[Baug][Em]
[C#dim]While there's a moon ov[C]er bourbon st[B]reet

[Verse 3]
She [B]walk[F#dim]s everyda[B]y[Bdim]
through the [Em]streets of New Orleans
She's inno[F#dim]cent and [B]young
[Bdim]from a famil[Em]y of means
I have [C]stood many [Em]times out
[B]side her [Em]window at night
To [C#dim]struggle with my [F#]instinct
in [C]the pale [B]moonlight
How could [F#dim]I be this way[B][Bdim]
when I [Em]pray to god above
[C#dim]I must love what I de[F#dim]stroy[B][Bdim]
and des[Em]troy the thing I love
Oh you'll [C]never see my [Em]shade
or hear the sound of my feet
While there's [C]a moon over [B]bourbon street
[B]
