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

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#]not[bass]e. 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.
Have Fun !
