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

[ 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
london calling at the top of the dial
Em Fmaj9

Em Fmaj9 Em Fmaj9
