Verse:

E7                     Cmaj7                   G7
London calling to the faraway towns, Now that war's declared and battle coming down
E7                    Cmaj7            G7
London calling to the underworld, Come out of the cupboard all you boys and girls
E7                   Cmaj7                  G7
London calling, now don't look at us, The phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust   
E7                     Cmaj7                       G7
London calling, see we ain't got no swing, 'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing

Chorus:


    E7                      G7
The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
 E7                     G7
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
      E7                        G7
The engines stopped running, but I have no fear
         E7                  D7               E7 
'Cause London is drowning and I live by the river


Verse:

E7                        Cmaj7                   G7
London calling to the imitation zone, Forget it, brother, you can go it alone
E7                      Cmaj7                   G7
London calling to the zombies of death, Quit holding out, and draw another breath
E7                           Cmaj7            G7
London calling, and I don't wanna shout, But while we were talking, I saw you nodding out
E7                     Cmaj7                      G7
London calling, see we ain't got no highs, Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

Chorus

 E7                         G7
The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
 E7                            G7
Engines stopped running, the wheat is growing thin
      E7            G7
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
         E7                  D7             E7 
'Cause London is drowning and I live by the river


E7     Fmaj7 x 4

Chorus

 E7                         G7
The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
 E7                       G7
Engines stopped running, the wheat is growing thin
      E7            G7
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
                E7              D7            E7 
'Cause London is drowning and I live by the river


Verse

E7                 Cmaj7                      G7
London calling yeah I was there too, An? you know what they said, well some of it was true
E7                     Cmaj7                   G7
London calling, at the top of the dial, after all this, won?t you give me a smile
E7            Cmaj7
London calling
E7            Cmaj7
London calling

Never felt so much alike
