Verse 3
But the Sul (F major) tan's weary bride,
she won't (G major) be wed tonight
Nor (C major) fall beneath a (G major) canopy to lie (A minor)
For (F major) far across the town,
(C major) her (G major) lover's lying drowned
An (C major) d painted by
the Bosporus (G major) in blue (A minor)
And there's (F major) nothing for
a broken heart to do.
(G major)
Verse 4
Down the (C major) dirty streets of Constantinople
The (A minor) beggars weep,
their hands all wide open
Their (F major) severed leper limbs
all swing and (G major) sway.
Verse 5
At a (C major) windowsill in Constantinople (G major)
Our (A minor) Hero sighs to melodies noteful
And (F major) gazes on the wall (C major) (F major) s
that hold (C major) his (G major) love.
Verse 6
But the Sul (F major) tan's weary bride,
(C major) she won't (G major) be wed tonight
Nor (C major) fall beneath a canopy (G major) to lie (A minor)
For (F major) far across the town,
(C major) her (G major) lover now is drowned
An (C major) d painted by
the Bosporus (G major) in blue (A minor)
And there's (F major) nothing for
a broken heart to (G major) do.
No, there's (F major) nothing for
a broken heart to (G major) do.
Except (C major) cry.
