Istanbul They Might Be Giants

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

[Am]Istanbul was [Am]Constantinople, now it's [Am]Istanbul, not [Am]Constantinople

Been a [E7]long time gone, old [E7]Constantinople

Now it's [Am]Turki[-]sh de[Dm]light on a [Dm]moon[-]lit [Am]night

[Am]Every gal in [Am]Constantinople lives in [Am]Istanbul, not [Am]Constantinople

So if [E7]you've a date in [E7]Constantinople, she'll be [Am]waitin[-]g in [E7]Istanb[Am]ul

Even [Am]old New [Am]York was [Am]once New Amster[Am]dam

[Bm7-5]Why they changed it [E7]I can't say, [Am]people just liked it [E7]better that way

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

Now it's [E7]Istanbul, not [E7]Constantinople, why did [Am]Constantinople get the [Am]works?

That's [E7]nobody's business but the [Am]Turks

#(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.   )
