Verse 1
There's a (G minor7b5) moon over (C7) bourbon street
(F minor) tonight
I see (G minor7b5) faces as they pass (C7)
beneath the (F minor) pale (F minorMaj7) lamp light (F minor7) (F minor6)
I've no (D flat minoraj7) choice but to (F minor/C) follow that (F minor) call
The (D minor7b5) bright lights the (G7) people
and the (D flat minoraj7) moon and all (C7)
I (G minor7b5) pray everyday (C7)
to be strong (F minor)
For I (G minor7b5) know what I do (C7)
must be (F minor) wrong (F minorMaj7) (F minor7) (F minor6)
Oh you'll (D flat minoraj7) never see my shade (F minor/C)
or hear the (F minor) sound of my (F minorMaj7) feet (F minor7) (F minor6)
While there's a (D flat minoraj7) moon over (C7) bourbon

Verse 2
It was (G minor7b5) many years ago (C7b5)
that I be (F minor) came what I (F minorMaj7) am (F minor7) (F minor6)
I was (G minor7b5) trapped in this life (C7b5)
like an (F minor) innocent (F minorMaj7) lamb (F minor7) (F minor6)
Now I can (D flat minoraj7) never show my face (F minor/C)
at (F minor) noon (F minorMaj7) (F minor7) (F minor6)
And you'll (D minor7b5) only see me walking (G7)
by the (D flat minoraj7) light of the moon (C7)
The (G minor7b5) brim of my (C7b5) hat
hides the (F minor) eye (F minorMaj7) of a (F minor7) beast (F minor6)
I've the (G minor7b5) face of a (C7b5) sinner
but the (F minor) hands (F minorMaj7) of a priest (F minor7) (F minor6)
Oh you'll (D flat minoraj7) never see my shade (F minor/C)
or hear the (F minor) sound of my (F minorMaj7) feet (F minor7) (F minor6)
While there's a (D flat minoraj7) moon over (C7) bourbon

She (G minor7b5) walks everyday (C7b5) through the
(F minor) streets of New Or (F minorMaj7) leans (F minor7) (F minor6)
She's (G minor7b5) innocent and young (C7b5)
from a (F minor) family of (F minorMaj7) means (F minor7) (F minor6)
I have (D flat minoraj7) stood many times (F minor/C)
outside her (F minor) window at night (F minorMaj7) (F minor7) (F minor6)
To (D minor7b5) struggle with my instinct (G7)
in the (D flat minoraj7) pale moonlight (C7)
How (G minor7b5) could I be this way (C7b5)
when I (F minor) pray to god (F minorMaj7) above (F minor7) (F minor6)
I must (G minor7b5) love what I destroy (C7b5)
and de (F minor) stroy the (F minorMaj7) thing I love (F minor7) (F minor6)
Oh you'll (D flat minoraj7) never see my shade (F minor/C)
or hear the (F minor) sound of my (F minorMaj7) feet (F minor7) (F minor6)
While there's a (D flat minoraj7) moon over (C7) bourbon street
(F minor)
