Moon Over Bourbon Street Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
There's a [Am]moon over [B]bourbon street
[Em]tonight
I see [Am]faces as they [B]pass
beneath [Em]the pale lamplight
I've no [C]choice but to [B]follow that [Em]call
The [Em]bright lights the [F#]people
and the [C]moon and [B]all
I [Am]pray every[B]day
to be [Em]strong
For I [Am]know what I [B]do
must be [Em]wrong
Oh you'll [C]never see my [B]shade
or hear the [Em]sound of my feet
While there's a [C]moon over [B]bourbon

[Verse 2]
It was [Am]many years [B]ago
that I be[Em]came what I am
I was [Am]trapped in this [B]life
like an [Em]innocent lamb
Now I can [C]never show my [B]face
at [Em]noon
And you'll [Em]only see me [F#]walking
by the [C]light of the [B]moon
The [Am]brim of my [B]hat
hides the [Em]eye of a beast
I've the [Am]face of a [B]sinner
but the [Em]hands of a priest
Oh you'll [C]never see my [B]shade
or hear the [Em]sound of my feet
While there's a [C]moon over [B]bourbon

[Verse 3]
She [Am]walks [B]everyday through the
[Em]streets of New Orleans
She's [Am]innocent and [B]young
from a [Em]family of means
I have [C]stood many [B]times
outside her [Em]window at night
To [Em]struggle with my [F#]instinct
in the [C]pale [B]moonlight
How [Am]could I be this [B]way
when I [Em]pray to god above
I must [Am]love what I [B]destroy
and de[Em]stroy the thing I love
Oh you'll [C]never see my [B]shade
or hear the [Em]sound of my feet
While there's a [C]moon over [B]bourbon street
[Em]
