Lyrics and Chords


[ Cdim7 =  ]

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night

/ Em - / / B7 - / Em - /

Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul

... / EmB7 Em / 

{Bridge}
Even old New York
Was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

/ Em - / / Cdim7 B7 / Em B7 / 

So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works
That's nobody's business but the Turks'

/ Em - / / B7 - / Em B7 / - Em /

Do do do, do-do-do dododododo
   Oh, oh-oh-oh...
Do do do, do-do-do dododododo
Do do do, do-do-do dododododo
Do - Istanbul
{Repeat}

{Bridge}

So take me back to...

Istanbul!
