Verse:

Em                    F
London calling to the faraway towns
    G
Now that war's declared and battle coming down


It's the same in both verses...


Chorus:

    Em                     G
The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
 Em                     G
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
      Em                         G
The engines stopped running, but I have no fear
         Em                   D               Em (intro again)
'Cause London is drowning and I live by the river

version 2




Standard tuning


Em                     C
London calling to the faraway towns
G
Now that war is declared-and battle come down
Em                     C
London calling to the underworld
G
Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls
Em                  C
London calling, now don't look at us
G
All that phoney beatlemania has bitten the dust
Em                    C
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 is zooming in
Em                           G
Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin
Em                         G
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
Em                       D                 Em
London is drowning-and I live by the river



London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, an' go it alone
London calling upon the zombies of death
Quit holding out-and draw another breath
London calling-and I don't wanna shout
But when we were talking-i saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got no highs
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

Chorus

For the outro just play the last line of the chorus.
