[Verse 1]
Gm6 A7 Dm / Dm^7 / Dm7 / Dm6
There's a moon over Bourbon Street tonight
Gm6 A7 Dm / Dm^7 / Dm7 / Dm6
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight
Bb A7 Dm / Dm^7 / Dm7 / Dm6
I've no choice but to follow that call
Bm7/B5 E7 Bb7 A7
The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all
Gm6 A7 Dm / Dm^7 / Dm7 / Dm6
I pray every day to be strong
Bb A7 Dm / Dm^7 / Dm7 / Dm6
For I know what I do must be wrong
Bb A7 Dm / Dm^7 / Dm7 / Dm6
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
Bb A7 Dm / Dm^7 / Dm7 / Dm6
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street
Dm F Gm6 A7
[Verse 2]
Em7/B5 A7 Dm / Dm^7 / Dm7 / Dm6
It was many years ago that I became what I am
Em7/B5 A7 Dm / Dm^7 / Dm7 / Dm6
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lam
Gm6 A7 Dm / Dm^7 / Dm7 / Dm6
Now I can never show my face at noon
Bb A7 Dm / Dm^7 / Dm7 / Dm6
And you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon
Gm6 A7 Dm / Dm^7 / Dm7 / Dm6
The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast
Em7/B5 A7 Dm / Dm^7 / Dm7 / Dm6
I've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest
Bb A7 Dm / Dm^7 / Dm7 / Dm6
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
Bb A7 Dm / Dm^7 / Dm7 / Dm6
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street
