Moon Over Bourbon Street

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.

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.
