Verse:
Am           Am                       Am            Am
Istanbul was Constantinople, now itʼs Istanbul, not Constantinople
        E7                 E7
Been a long time gone, old Constantinople
         Am        Dm         Dm      Am
Now itʼs Turkish delight on a moonlit night
Am           Am                      Am            Am
Every gal in Constantinople lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
      E7               E7                        Am         E7    Am
So if youʼve a date in Constantinople, sheʼll be waiting in Istanbul

Chorus:
     Am      Am       Am             Am
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Bm7               E7           Am                   E7
Why they changed it I canʼt say, people just liked it better that way
   Am              Am                     Am               Am
So take me back to Constantinople, no you canʼt go back to Constantinople
        E7              E7                      Am                     Am
Been a long time gone,  Constantinople, why did Constantinople get the works?
       E7                        Am
Thatʼs nobodyʼs business but the Turks
