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.
Have Fun !
