FMaj9Fmaj9
London calling to the faraway towns
G+G
Now war is declared, and battle come down
FMaj9Fmaj9
London calling to the underworld
G+G
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
FMaj9Fmaj9
London calling, now don't look to us
G+G
Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
FMaj9Fmaj9
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
G+G
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing
[Chorus 1:]
D MajorD
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
D MajorD
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
D MajorD
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
D MajorD
'Cause London is drowning, and I ~~~~~~~ live by the river
London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, you can go it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holding out, and draw another breath
London calling, and I don't wanna shout
But while we were talking, I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got no high
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes
[Chorus 2: x2]
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A augmentedA nuclear error, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I live by the river

Now get this
FMaj9Fmaj9
London calling, yes, I was there, too
FMaj9Fmaj9
An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
FMaj9Fmaj9
London calling at the top of the dial
FMaj9Fmaj9
After all this, won't you give me a smile?
FMaj9Fmaj9
London calling
