There's a moon [C] over Bourbon Street [F]
[C] tonight
[F] [G] I see [Db] faces as [C] they pass beneath [F] the
[E] pale [Eb] lamplight
[D] [Db] I've no choice [C] but to follow [F] that [G] call
[Ab] [C] [D] The bright lights, [G] the people, [Db] and the moon and [C] all
[G] I pray [C] every day [F] to be [G] strong
[Abm] [F] [G] For I know [C] what I do [F] must be
[E] wrong
[Eb] [D] [Db] Oh, you'll never [Fm] see [G] my shade [C] or hear [F] the sound [E] of my [Eb] feet
[Dm] [Db] While there's a moon [C] over Bourbon [Fm] Street

[Fm] [D] And you'll only see me [G] walking by [Db] the light of the [C] moon
The [G] brim [C] of my hat [Fm] hides the eye of a beast
Of the [G] face of a [C] sinner, [Fm] but the [E] hands of a [Ab] priest
[D] [Db] Oh, you'll never see [Fm] my shade or hear the sound of [E] my feet

I [Db] have stood many [D] times outside her [Fm] window at night
[D] To struggle with my [G] instinct in [Db] the pale moonlight
[C] [G] How could I be this [C] way when [Fm] I pray to [E] God [Fm] above
[D] [G] I must love what I [C] destroy and destroy the thing I [Ab] love
