Moon Over Bourbon Street Lyrics

There's a moon over Bourbon Street tonight
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamp light
I've no choice but to follow that call
the bright lights, the people, and the moon and all
I pray every day to be strong
for I know what I do must be wrong
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
while there's a moon over Bourbon Street
It was many years ago that I became what I am
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb
now I never show my face at noon
and you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon
the brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast
I've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest

# In the above chords, if you are having difficulty, in the F#m7-5 drop the
# F# bass note and use the open A string. The C#dim you can also drop C# bass
# note. The Em and C are just regular "open" position chords.
# The song appears on the Sting album "dream of the blue turtles". If you
# get the song try working out the bass line and play it along with the chords.

# Have Fun !
