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

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
