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

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

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