Verse 1:
Em*                    C7*    
London calling to the faraway towns,
                             G (320003@1)          
Now that war is declared and battle come down.
Em*                   C7*   
London calling to the underworld,
                                  G (320003@1)Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls.
Em (022000@1)                C7 (x32310@1) 
London calling, now don't look at us,
                                G (320003@1)All that phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust.
Em (022000@1)                   C7 (x32310@1)  
London calling, see we ain't got no swing,
                           G (320003@1)'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing.

Chorus 1:
Em (022000@1)                   GThe (320003@1)ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in,
Em (022000@1)                     G (320003@1)Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin.
C (x32010@1)                  G (320003@1)A nuclear error, but I have no fear,
Em (022000@1)                   D (xx0232@1)London is drowning-and I live by the river.

Verse 2:
Em*                    C7*   
London calling to the imitation zone,
                        G (320003@1)Forget it, brother, an' go it alone.
Em*                     C7*    
London calling upon the zombies of death,
                     G (320003@1)Quit holding out and draw another breath.
Em*                  C7*    
London calling and I don't wanna shout,
                               G (320003@1)But when we were talking I saw you nodding out,
Em*                     C7*    
London calling, see we ain't got no highs,
                         G (320003@1)Except for that one with the yellowy eyes.

Chorus 2:
Em (022000@1)                   GThe (320003@1)ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in,
Em (022000@1)                     G (320003@1)Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin.
C (x32010@1)                  G (320003@1)A nuclear error, but I have no fear,
Em (022000@1)                   D (xx0232@1)London is drowning-and I live by the river.

C (x32010@1)                  G (320003@1)A nuclear error, but I have no fear,

London calling, yeah, I was there, too,
                                   G (320003@1)An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
Em*                    C7*  
London calling at the top of the dial, 
Em (022000@1)                  C (x32010@1)After all this, won't you give me a smile?
