(Gm6 Gm6)  (A7 A7)  (Dm Dm)
(Gm6 Gm6) (A7 A7) (Dm Dm)
There's a moon over Bourbon Street tonight
(Gm6 Gm6) (A7 A7) (Dm Dm)
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight
(Gm6 Gm6) (A7 A7) (Dm Dm)
I've no choice but to follow that call
(Dm6 Dm6) (E7 E7) (Bb Bb) (A7 A7)
The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all
(Gm6 Gm6) (A7 A7) (Dm Dm)
I pray everyday to be strong
(Gm6 Gm6) (A7 A7) (Dm Dm)
For I know what I do must be wrong

Chorus:
(Gm6 Gm6) (A7 A7) (Dm Dm)
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
(Gm6 Gm6) (A7 A7) (Dm Dm) (F F)(Gm Gm)(A7 A7)
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street
(Dm Dm) (F F)(Gm Gm)(A7 A7) x3

(Gm6 Gm6) (A7 A7) (Dm Dm)
It was many years ago that I became what I am
(Gm6 Gm6) (A7 A7) (Dm Dm)
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb
(Gm6 Gm6) (A7 A7) (Dm Dm)
Now I can never show my face at noon
(Dm6 Dm6) (E7 E7) (Bb Bb) (A7 A7)
And you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon
(Gm6 Gm6) (A7 A7) (Dm Dm)
The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast
(Gm6 Gm6) (A7 A7) (Dm Dm)
I've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest

Chorus
(Gm6 Gm6) (A7 A7) (Dm Dm)
She walks everyday through the streets of New Orleans
(Gm6 Gm6) (A7 A7) (Dm Dm)
She's innocent and young, from a family of means
(Gm6 Gm6) (A7 A7) (Dm Dm)
I have stood many times outside her window at night
(Dm6 Dm6) (E7 E7) (Bb Bb) (A7 A7)
To struggle with my instinct in the pale moonlight
(Gm6 Gm6) (A7 A7) (Dm Dm)
How could I be this way when I pray to God above?
(Gm6 Gm6) (A7 A7) (Dm Dm)
I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love

Chorus
