VERSE 1
+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.

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.
