+6 +6 +6 -6 +6 -5 +5 -4 +5 -5 There's a moon ov-er Bour-bon Street to-night, -4 -4 +6 +6 -6 +6 -5 +5 -5 +6 -6 -6 -6 I see fa-ces as they pass be-neath the pale lamp-light. -6 -6 -7 +6 -5 +5 -5 +6 -6 I've no choice but to fol-low that call; -4 -5 -5 -5 +6 +5 +5 +5 -6 +6 +5 the bright lights, the peo-ple, and the moon and all. -3 +5 +5 -5 +6 -5 +5 -5 I pray eve-ry-day to be strong, -4 -4 +5 +5 -5 +6 -5 +6 -6 For I know what I do must be wrong. REFRAIN -6 -6 -7 -7 +6 +6 +5 Oh, you'll nev-er see my shade +5 -5 +6 -6 -6 -6 -6 or hear the sound of my feet -4 +5 +5 -5 +6 -5 -5 +5 -4 while there's a moon ov-er Bour-bon Street. VERSE 2 -4 +5 +6 +6 +6 +6 +6 -4 -4 +5 -5 -5 -5 -5 It was ma-ny years a-go that I be-came what I am. -4 -4 +6 +6 -6 -6 -5 +6 -6 -6 -6 -6 I was trapped in this life like an in-no-cent lamb. -6 -6 -6 -7 -7 -7 +6 +5 +6 -6 Now I can nev-er show my face at noon, -4 -4 -5 -5 -5 -5 +6 +5 And you'll on-ly see me walk-ing +5 +5 -6 +6 +6 +5 by the light of the moon. -3'' +5 +5 -5 +6 -5 +5 -5 -5 -5 -5 The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast. -4 -4 +5 +5 -5 +6 +6 -5 +6 -6 -6 -6 -6 I've the face of a sin-ner but the hands of a priest. [REFRAIN] VERSE 3 -3'' +6 +6 +6 +6 -4 +5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 She walks eve-ry-day through the streets of New Or-leans. -4 +6 +6 +6 -6 -6 -5 +6 -6 -6 -6 -6 She's in-no-cent and young from a fam-'ly of means. -6 -6 -7 +6 -5 +5 -5 -5 +6 -6 -6 -6 -6 I have stood man-y times out-side her win-dow at night, -4 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 +5 +5 -6 +6 +5 To strug-gle with my in-stinct in the pale moon-light. -3'' +5 +5 +5 +5 +5 -5 +5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 How could I be this way when I pray to God a-bove? -4 -4 +5 +5 +5 +5 +5 -5 +6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 I must love what I de-stroy and de-stroy the thing I love -6 -6 -7 -7 +6 +6 +5 Oh you'll nev-er see my shade +5 -5 +6 -6 -6 -6 -6 or hear the sound of my feet -4 +5 +5 -7 -6 +6 -6 +6 -4 while there's a moon ov-er Bour-bon Street. |
