Moon o-ver Mi-a-mi,

There’s a moon ov-er Bour-bon Street to-night,
-4 -4 +6 +6 -6 +6 -5 +5 -5 +6 -6 -6 -6
I see fa-ces as they pass be-neath the pale lamp-light.
-6 -6 -7 +6 -5 +5 -5 +6 -6
I’ve no choice but to fol-low that call;
-4 -5 -5 -5 +6 +5 +5 +5 -6 +6 +5
the bright lights, the peo-ple, and the moon and all.
-3 +5 +5 -5 +6 -5 +5 -5
I pray eve-ry-day to be strong,
-4 -4 +5 +5 -5 +6 -5 +6 -6
For I know what I do must be wrong.
REFRAIN
-6 -6 -7 -7 +6 +6 +5
Oh, you’ll nev-er see my shade
+5 -5 +6 -6 -6 -6 -6
or hear the sound of my feet
-4 +5 +5 -5 +6 -5 -5 +5 -4
while there’s a moon ov-er Bour-bon Street.
VERSE 2

It was ma-ny years a-go that I be-came what I am.
-4 -4 +6 +6 -6 -6 -5 +6 -6 -6 -6 -6
I was trapped in this life like an in-no-cent lamb.
-6 -6 -6 -7 -7 -7 +6 +5 +6 -6
Now I can nev-er show my face at noon,
-4 -4 -5 -5 -5 -5 +6 +5
And you’ll on-ly see me walk-ing
+5 +5 -6 +6 +6 +5
by the light of the moon.
-3» +5 +5 -5 +6 -5 +5 -5 -5 -5 -5
The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast.
-4 -4 +5 +5 -5 +6 +6 -5 +6 -6 -6 -6 -6
I’ve the face of a sin-ner but the hands of a priest.

She walks eve-ry-day through the streets of New Or-leans.
-4 +6 +6 +6 -6 -6 -5 +6 -6 -6 -6 -6
She’s in-no-cent and young from a fam-‘ly of means.
-6 -6 -7 +6 -5 +5 -5 -5 +6 -6 -6 -6 -6
I have stood man-y times out-side her win-dow at night,
-4 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 +5 +5 -6 +6 +5
To strug-gle with my in-stinct in the pale moon-light.
-3» +5 +5 +5 +5 +5 -5 +5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5
How could I be this way when I pray to God a-bove?
-4 -4 +5 +5 +5 +5 +5 -5 +6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6
I must love what I de-stroy and de-stroy the thing I love

Full moon sway-s.
6 -5 -5 -6 6
Gent-ly in the night
-5 -5 -6 6 -5
of one fine da-y.
7 -8 6 -5
On my wa-y.
6 -5 -5 -6
Look-ing for a
6 -5 -5 -6 6 -5
mo-ment with my de-ar.
7 -8 6 -5
Full moon wav-es.
6 -5 -5 -6 6 -5
Slow-ly on the sur-face
-5 -6 6 -5
of the la-ke.
7 -8 6 -5
You were the-re.
6 -5 -5 -6 6
Smil-ing in my arms
-5 -5 -6 6 -5
for all those ye-ars.
-6 7 8
What a fool.
6 8 -8 7
I don’t know ’bout

-7 7 -7 6 -6
What it’s like to be.
6 -6 6
Ah-h-h…
-6 7 8
I was fool.
6 8 -8 7 -8
Could-n’t let my-self

to go.
-7 7 -7 6
Even though I feel,
-6 6
the end.
7 -8 6 -5
Old love af-fair.
6 -5 -5 -6 6
Float-ing like a bird
-5 -5 -6 6 -5
rest-ing her win-gs.
7 -8 6 -5
You were the-re.
6 -5 -5 -6 6
Smil-ing in my arms

for all those ye-ars.

Will this be moon love,
1 -1 2 3 -2
Noth-ing but moon love,
-2 3 -3 -3* -3* -3* -3*
Will you be gone when the dawn
-3* -3* -3* -3
comes steal-ing through?
-2 2 -1 -2 2
Are these just moon dreams,
1 -1 2 3 -2
grand while the moon beams?
-2 3 -3 -4 -4 -4 -4
But when the moon fades a-way,
-4 -4 -5 4 4
will my dreams come true?
-3 -3* 4 4 -1
Much as I love you,
3 -3 -3* -3* 1
don’t let me love you.
-2 3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 3 -5 4 4
If I must pay for your kiss with lone-ly tears,
-2 2 -1 -2 2
say it’s not moon love.
1 -1 2 3 -2
Tell me it’s true love
-3 -3* 4 -5 -1 -1 -3 2 2 -2
say you’ll be mine when the moon dis-ap-pears.

Brightly!

Way up in the blue,

It must have been moon glow,
7 7 7 7 7 7
That led me straight to you.
-6 7 -6 7 8 8
And now when there’s moon glow,
-6 7 -6 7 8
Way up in the blue,

That moon glow gave me you.
