  ISTANBUL (Not Constantinople) [by Jimmy Kennedy & Nat Simon]

  ------------------------------------------------------------

  [These are the chords I remember from my piano-playing days;       ]

  [actually, They Might Be Giants' recording of this song is in F#m, ]

  [not Am, but do _you_ want to play it in F#m?  Not me.  If you     ]

  [must be accurate, transpose this to Em and capo up two frets.     ]

  [The whole song isn't here, but it should be enough so that you    ]

  [can figure out the intro and solo yourself.  Oh, and the groovy   ]

  [chord at the end is an Am(#7), which is x02110 or x06554.         ]

  

  [Each chord is one measure, except "X - Y" is one measure TOTAL.   ]

  

  Am           Am                       Am            Am

  Istanbul was Constantinople, now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople

         E7                  E7

  Been a long time gone, old Constantinople

           Am   -    Dm         Dm  -   Am

  Now it's 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 you've a date in Constantinople, she'll be waiting in Istanbul

       Am      Am       Am             Am

  Even old New York was once New Amsterdam

  Bm7-5               E7           Am                   E7

  Why they changed it I can't say, people just liked it better that way

     Am              Am                     Am               Am

  So take me back to Constantinople, no you can't go back to Constantinople

           E7            E7                      Am                     Am

  Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople, why did Constantinople get the works?

         E7                        Am

  That's nobody's business but the Turks
