[Intro: x4]
Em   Fmaj9    Em   Fmaj9

Em                    Fmaj9
London calling to the faraway towns
Em/G                     G
Now war is declared, and battle come down
Em                    Fmaj9
London calling to the underworld
Em/G                          G
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
Em                    Fmaj9
London calling, now don't look to us
Em/G                          G
Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
Em                    Fmaj9
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
Em/G                          G
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/c/clash/299935.html ]
[Chorus 1:]
Em                         G                D
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Em                         G                D
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Em                         G                D
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
Em                             D
'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 nuclear error, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I live by the river

Em   Fmaj9    Em   Fmaj9
Em   Fmaj9    Em   Fmaj9    
                    Now get this

Em                   Fmaj9
London calling, yes, I was there, too
        Em                         Fmaj9
An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
Em                   Fmaj9
London calling at the top of the dial
Em                        Fmaj9
After all this, won't you give me a smile?
Em              Fmaj9          Em           Fmaj9
London calling
Em
I never felt so much alike [fading] alike alike alike
