[Intro]
D#m  E  6x


[Verse]
D#m                    E
London calling to the faraway towns
         D#m                  F#
Now that war is declared and battle come down
D#m                    E
London calling to the underworld
     D#m                           F#
Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls
D#m                  E
London calling, now don't look to us
D#m                    F#
Phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust
D#m                     E
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
D#m                          F#
Except for the ring of that truncheon thing

[Chorus]
    D#m                     F#
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
D#m                    F#
Meltdown expected the wheat is growing thin
D#m                       F#
Engines stop running but I have no fear
    D#m                     C#~
Cuz London is drowning and I live by the river


[Verse]
D#m                    E
London calling to the imitation zone
D#m                         F#
Forget it brother, you can got it alone
D#m                    E
London calling to the zombies of death
D#m                   F#
Quit holding out and draw another breath
D#m                   E
London calling and I don't wanna shout
    D#m                      F#
But while we were talking I saw you noddin' out
D#m                     E
London calling, see we ain't got no highs
  D#m                         F#
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes


[Chorus]
    D#m                     F#
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
D#m                       F#
Engines stop running the wheat is growing thin
  D#m                  F#
A nuclear error but I have no fear

Cuz London is drowning and I live by the river

A nuclear error but I have no fear
