The wrong chords were posted here before, about 2 whole steps higher than normal. 
After watching the JBTV performance after John Henry came out. I'm sure these are 
the right chords.

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


Fm           Fm                       Fm            Fm
Istanbul was Constantinople, now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
       C7                  C7
Been a long time gone, old Constantinople
         Fm   -    Dm         Dm  -   Fm
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night
Fm           Fm                      Fm            Fm
Every gal in Constantinople lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople

So if you've a date in Constantinople, she'll be waiting in Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
                    C7           Fm                   C7

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

That's nobody's business but the Turks
