Verse 1:

G5                  A5             D5 / Dm^7 / D5 / D5
There's a moon over Bourbon Street tonight

G5                       A5               D5 / Dm^7 / D5 / D5
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight

Bb5             A5                 D5 / Dm^7 / D5 / D5
I've no choice but to follow that call

B5                  E5             Bb5      A5
The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all

G5           A5       D5 / Dm^7 / D5 / D5
I pray every day to be strong

Bb5           A5                D5 / Dm^7 / D5 / D5
For I know what I do must be wrong

Bb5                          A5                       D5 / Dm^7 / D5 / D5
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet

Bb5                  A5             D5 / Dm^7 / D5 / D5
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street

D5  F5  G5  A5

Verse 2:

E5                  A5                 D5 / Dm^7 / D5 / D5
It was many years ago that I became what I am

E5                  A5                D5 / Dm^7 / D5 / D5
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lam

G5                      A5      D5 / Dm^7 / D5 / D5
Now I can never show my face at noon

Bb5                             A5                   D5 / Dm^7 / D5 / D5
And you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon

G5                  A5              D5 / Dm^7 / D5 / D5
The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast

E5                              A5          D5 / Dm^7 / D5 / D5
I've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest

Bb5                       A5                           D5 / Dm^7 / D5 / D5
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet

Bb5                    A5             D5 / Dm^7 / D5 / D5
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street

Note: 

that the fourth line in verse 2 is played differend in de video by Sting, but 
since he started with a Bm7/b5 and ended with the Dm 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. 

And last but not least I like to thank L. Venderbosch for helping me out
with some parts of the song.

Cheers and enjoy!
