Verse
There's a moon over Bourbon Street
Tonight
I see faces as they pass beneath the
Pale lamp light
I've no choice but to follow
That call
The bright lights, the people,
And the moon and all
I pray every day
To be strong
For I know what I do
Must be wrong
Oh you'll never see my shade
Or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street
Instrumental
Fm Ab Bbm C7 x4
Verse 2
It was many years ago
That I became what I am
I was trapped in this life
Like an innocent lamb
Now I never show my face
At noon
And you'll only see me walking
By the light of the moon
The brim of my hat
Hides the eye of a beast
I've the face of a sinner
But the hands of a priest
Oh you'll never see my shade
Or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street
Instrumental
Fm Ab Bbm7 C7 x4
Interlude
Verse 3
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 moonlight
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
