Song : B
Intro x 6:
Em Em Em Em
F F F F

Em F
London calling to the faraway towns
G
Now war is declared, and battle come down
Em F
London calling to the underworld
G
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
Em F
London calling, now don't look to us
G
Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
Em F
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
G
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing

Chorus :
Em G
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Em G
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Em G
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
Em D
'Cause London is drowning, and I live by the river

Em F
London calling to the imitation zone
G
Forget it, brother, you can go it alone
Em F
London calling to the zombies of death
G
Quit holding out, and draw another breath
Em F
London calling, and I don't wanna shout
G
But while we were talking, I saw you nodding out
Em F
London calling, see we ain't got no high
G
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

Em G
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Em G
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
Em G
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
Em D
'Cause London is drowning, and I live by the river

Interlude x4

London calling, yes, I was there, too

After all this, won't you give me a smile?
Em F
