Em Fmaj7 G6 G

London calling to the faraway towns, now war is declared and battle come down.

Em Fmaj7 G6 G

London calling to the underworld, come out of the cupboard you boys and girls.

Em Fmaj7 G6 G

London calling, now don’t look to us, Phoney Beatlemania has beaten the dust,

Em Fmaj7 G6 G

London calling, see we ain’t got no swing, ‘cept for the ring of the truncheon thing.

Refrain.

Em G

The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in,

Em G

Meltdown expected (Engines stop running) the wheat is growing thin.

Em G

Engines stop running (A nuclear error) but I have no fear,

Em D D

‘Cause London is drowning and I...live by the river.

Em Fmaj7 G6 G

London calling to the imitation zone, Forget it brother, you can go it alone,

Em Fmaj7 G6 G

London calling to the zombies of death, Quit holding out and draw another breath.

Em Fmaj7 G6 G

London calling and I don’t wanna shout, But while we were talking I saw you nodding out.

Em Fmaj7 G6 G

London calling, see we ain’t got no highs, ‘cept for that one with the yellowy eyes.

Repeat refrain.

London calling, yes I was there too, and you know what they said? Well some of it was true.

London calling at the top of the dial, and after all this won’t you give me a smile?
