Theres a mF#m7b5oon over BBourbon Street tonEmight
I see fF#m7b5aces as they pBass beneath the pEmale lamp light
I've no chCoice but to fBollow that cEmall
The brC#dim7ight lights, the pF#7eople, and the moon and all B7
I prF#m7b5ay every dBay to be strEmong
for I knF#m7b5ow what I dBo must be wrEmong
[Chorus]
Oh you'll nCever see my shBade or hear the sEmound of my feet

It was mF#m7b5any years agBo that I becEmame what I am
I was trF#m7b5apped in this lBife like an Eminnocent lamb
now I nCever show my fBace at nEmoon
and you'll C#dim7only see me wF#7alking by the light of the moon B7
the brF#m7b5im of my hBat hides the Emeye of a beast
I've the fF#m7b5ace of a sBinner but the hEmands of a priest
[Chorus]
Oh you'll nCever see my shBade or hear the soundEm of my feet
while there's a mCoon over BB7ourbon StrEmeet Em Am B7

She wF#m7b5alks everydBay through the strEmeets of New Orleans
She's F#m7b5innocent and yBoung from a fEmamily of means
I have stCood many tBimes outside her wEmindow at night
To strC#dim7uggle with my F#7instinct in the pale moonlightB7
How cF#m7b5ould I be this wBay when I prEmay to god above
I must lF#m7b5ove what I destrBoy and destrEmoy the thing I love
[Chorus]
Oh you'll nCever see my shBade or hear the sEmound of my feet
while there's a mCoon over BB7ourbon StrEmeet
