"Moon Over Bourbon Street"
Sting

|: F#m7-5 B7 Em
1. Theres a moon over Bourbon Street tonight

2. It was many years ago that I became what I am

F#m7-5 B7 Em
1. I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamp light

2. I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb

C B7 Em
1. I've no choice but to follow that call
2. now I never show my face at noon

C#dim F#7 C B7
1. the bright lights, the people, and the moon and all
2. and you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon

F#m7-5 B7 Em
1. I pray every day to be strong
2. the brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast

F#m7-5 B7 Em
1. for I know what I do must be wrong
2. I've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest

C B/F# Em
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet

C B7 Em :|
while there's a moon over Bourbon Street
