Here's Bruce's cover of London Calling in PA. His cover at London's Hard Rock
Calling festival will be uploaded once I get the solo figured out.

Capo on the third fret, everything relative to the capo.

Verses is Em, Fmaj, G

Em (022000@1)           FmajLondon (133211@1)calling to the faraway towns
GNow (320003@1)that war is declared-and battle come down
Em (022000@1)           FmajLondon (133211@1)calling to the underworld
GCome (320003@1)out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls
Em (022000@1)            FmajLondon (133211@1)calling, now don't look at us
GAll (320003@1)that phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
Em (022000@1)            FmajLondon (133211@1)calling, see we ain't got no swing
G'Cept (320003@1)for the ring of that truncheon thing

CHORUS
Em (022000@1)                   GThe (320003@1)ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Em (022000@1)                  GEngines (320003@1)stop running, the wheat is growing thin
Em (022000@1)             GA (320003@1)nuclear error, but I have no fear
DLondon (xx0232@1)is drowning-and I live by the river

Em   Fmaj x2

Em (022000@1)           FmajLondon (133211@1)calling to the imitation zone
GForget (320003@1)it, brother, an' go it alone
Em (022000@1)           FmajLondon (133211@1)calling upon the zombies of death
GQuit (320003@1)holding out-and draw another breath
Em (022000@1)           FmajLondon (133211@1)calling-and I don't wanna shout
GBut (320003@1)when we were talking-I saw you nodding out
Em (022000@1)            FmajLondon (133211@1)calling, see we ain't got no highs
GExcept (320003@1)for that one with the yellowy eyes

CHORUS

Solo: Em, Fmaj, G (It's really just rapid picking, but I wrote it differently)
