           F#m7/5-   B7
There's a moon over Bourbon Street
Em
  Tonight.
       F#m7/5-       B7
I see faces as they pass beneath the
Em
  Pale lamplight.
0:15
          C            B7
I've no choice but to follow
  Em
That call,
      C#dim             F#7
The bright lights, the people
         C            B7
And the moon and all.

Pre-chorus 1: 0:31
    F#m7/5-   B7
I pray ev'ry day
    Em
To be strong,
        F#m7/5-    B7
For I know what I do
          Em
Must be wrong.

Chorus: 0:45
            C             B7/F#
Oh, you'll never see my shade
             Em
Or hear the sound of my feet
                 C
While there's a moon
      B7        Em ->
Over Bourbon Street.

Verse 2: 1:12
        F#m7/5-       B7
It was many years ago
     Em
That I became what I am,
        F#m7/5-            B7
I was trapped in this life
        Em
Like an innocent lamb.
1:27
           C             B7
Now I can never show my face
    Em
At noon,
           C#dim               F#7
And you'll only see me walking
        C                 B7
By the light of the moon.

Pre-chorus 2: 1:43
     F#m7/5-    B7
The brim of my hat
          Em        Em/C
Hides the eye of a beast,
          F#m7/5-   B7
I've the face of a sinner
         Em
But the hands of a priest.

[Chorus] 1:58

Verse 3: 2:48
     F#m7/5-       B7
She walks everyday
               Em
Through the streets of New Orleans.
      F#m7/5-             B7
She's innocent and young,
        Em
From a family of means.
3:03
         C         B7
I have stood many times
             Em
Outside her window at night
      C#dim                  F#7
To struggle with my instinct
        C              B7
In the pale moonlight.

Pre-chorus 3:  3:18
          F#m7/5-       B7
How could I be this way
         Em          Em/C
When I pray to God above?
        F#m7/5-            B7
I must love what I destroy
         Em
And destroy the thing I love.

[Chorus] 3:33
