Fig. 1* (2x)

                                / ^7 /  / 
There's a moon over Bourbon Street tonight

                                       / ^7 /  / 
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight

                               / ^7 /  / 
I've no choice but to follow that call

The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all

                   / ^7 /  / 
I pray every day to be strong

                            / ^7 /  / 
For I know what I Do must be wrong

                                                  / ^7 /  / 
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet

                                / ^7 /  / 
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street

                                    / ^7 /  / 
It was many years ago that I became what I 

                                   / ^7 /  / 
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lam

                             / ^7 /  / 
Now I can never show my face at noon

                                                 / ^7 /  / 
And you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon

                                 / ^7 /  / 
The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast

                                         / ^7 /  / 
I've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest

                                                   / ^7 /  / 
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet

                                  / ^7 /  / 
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street

Figure 1:

Note: 

that the fourth line in verse 2 is played differend in de video by Sting, but 
since he started with a Fm7b5 and ended with the  I believe it's just a misteak 
he made and was supposed to be played like I discribed.

Another differce with the record version is the fact that this acoustic version only 
contains 2 verses. And the fact that it is played in a 
completly differend key. This also seams to be a regular jazz pattern.
