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

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


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


[Chorus]
    C#m                     E
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
C#m                       E
Engines stop running the wheat is growing thin
  C#m                  E
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
