Moon Over Bourbon Street
Sting
There's a
F#m7-5
moon over
B7
Bourbon Street
Em
tonight
I see
F#m7-5
faces as they
B7
pass beneath the
Em
pale lamp light
I've no
C
choice but to
B7
follow that
Em
call
the
C#dim
bright lights, the
F#7
people, and the
C
moon and
B7
all
F#m7-5
I pray every
B7
day to be
Em
strong
for I
F#m7-5
know what I
B7
do must be
Em
wrong
Chorus
Oh you'll
C
never see my
B/F#
shade or hear the
Em
sound of my feet
while there's a
C
moon over
B7
Bourbon
Em
Street
It was
F#m7-5
many years
B7
ago that I became
Em
what I am
I was
F#m7-5
trapped in this
B7
life like an
Em
innocent lamb
now I
C
never show my
B7
face at
Em
noon
and
C#dim
you'll only see me
F#7
walking by the
C
light of the
B7
moon
the
F#m7-5
brim of my
B7
hat hides the
Em
eye of a beast
I've the
F#m7-5
face of a
B7
sinner but the
Em
hands of a priest
chorus

#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.
