1. Theres a moon over Bourbon Street tonight
2. It was many years ago that I became what I am
1. I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamp light
2. I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb
1. I've no Cchoice but to B7follow that Emcall
2. now I never show my face at noon
1. the C#dimbright lights, the F#7people, and the Cmoon and B7all
2. and you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon
1. I pray every day to be strong
2. the brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast
1. for I know what I do must be wrong
2. I've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest
Oh you'll Cnever see my B/F#shade or hear the Emsound of my feet
while there's a moon over Bourbon Street
