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. ]


Cm           Cm                       Cm            Cm
Istanbul was Constantinople, now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
       G7                  G7
Been a long time gone, old Constantinople
         Cm   -    Am         Am  -   Cm
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night
Cm           Cm                      Cm            Cm
Every gal in Constantinople lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
      G7               G7                        Cm    -    G7    Cm
So if you've a date in Constantinople, she'll be waiting in Istanbul
     Cm      Cm       Cm             Cm
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
                    G7           Cm                   G7
Why they changed it I can't say, people just liked it better that way
   Cm              Cm                     Cm               Cm
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?
       G7                        Cm
That's nobody's business but the Turks
