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

that [Fm] I became what I am
I [G] was trapped in this life [C]
like [Fm] an innocent lamb
Oh, [Db] I can never show my [Fm] face at [C] noon
[Fm] And [D] you'll only see me [G] walking by [Db] the light of the moon
[C] [Bbm] The brim of [C] my hat hides [Fm] the eye of a beast
Of the face [Bbm] of [C] a sinner, [Fm] but the hands of a priest
Oh, [Db] you'll never see my [Fm] shade or hear the sound of [E] my feet

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