C C/G C C/G
O the minarets of Constantinople
Am Am/E Am Am/E
Are plated gold, ivory, and opal
F F/C F F/C G G G G
Their cupolas all onion domed and 
light.

C C/G C C/G
And the magistrate of Constantinople
Am Am/E Am Am/E
Has made a match; his family was 
hopeful
F F/C F F/C G G G G
Their daughter would be promised a 
wedding night.

F G
But the Sultan's weary bride, she 
won't be wed tonight

C C/B C/A C/G Am Am/E Am Am/E
Nor fall beneath a canopy to lie
F F/C F F/C G G G G
For far across the town, her lover 
now is drowned
C C/B C/A C/G Am Am/E Am Am/E
And painted by the Bosporus in blue
F F/C F F/C G G G G
And there's nothing for a broken 
heart to do.

C C/G C C/G
Down the dirty streets of 
Constantinople
Am Am/E Am Am/E
The beggars weep, their hands all 
wide open
F F/C F F/C G G G G
Their severed leper limbs all swing 
and sway.

C C/G C C/G
At a windowsill in Constantinople
Am Am/E Am Am/E
Our Hero sighs to melodies noteful
F F/C F F/C G G G G
And gazes on the walls that hold his
 love.

But the Sultan's weary bride, she 
won't be wed tonight
C C/B C/A C/G Am Am/E Am Am/E
Nor fall beneath a canopy to lie
F F/C F F/C G G G G
For far across the town, her lover 
now is drowned
C C/B C/A C/G Am Am/E Am Am/E
And painted by the Bosporus in blue
F F/C F F/C G G G G
And there's nothing for a broken 
heart to do.
F F/C F F/C G G G G
No, there's nothing for a broken 
heart to do.
C C/B C/A C/G Am Am/E Am Am/E
Except cry.
