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

-----
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official STING tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
