Moon Over Bourbon Street
Key: EEnglish
Verse
There's a F#m7(b5)moon over B7Bourbon Street Emtonight
I see F#m7(b5)faces as they B7pass beneath Emthe pale lamp light
I've no Cchoice but to B7follow Emthat call
The G(dim)bright lights, the F#7people, and Cthe moon B7and all
I F#m7(b5)pray every B7day to be Emstrong
For I F#m7(b5)know what I B7do must Embe wrong
Oh you'll Cnever see my B/F#shade or hear Emthe sound of my feet
While there's a Cmoon over B7Bourbon EmStreet
Verse
It was F#m7(b5)many years B7ago that I became Emwhat I am
I was F#m7(b5)trapped in this B7life like Eman innocent lamb
Now I Cnever show my B7face Emat noon
And G(dim)you'll only see me F#7walking by Cthe light of B7the moon
The F#m7(b5)brim of my B7hat hides the Emeye of a beast
I've the F#m7(b5)face of a B7sinner but the Emhands of a priest
Oh you'll Cnever see my B/F#shade or hear Emthe sound of my feet
While there's a Cmoon over B7Bourbon EmStreet
Verse
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
