Verse 1:
London calling to the faraway towns
Now that war is declared and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls
(start doing all downstrokes now)
London calling, now don't look at us
All that phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing

Chorus 1:
The Ice Age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
Em D~
'Cuz London is drowning, and I live by the river
Verse 2:
London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, an' go it alone
London calling upon the zombies of death
Quit holding out-and draw another breath
(start doing all downstrokes now)
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 highs
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes
Chorus 2:
The Ice Age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
A Nuclear Era, but I have no fear
Em D~
'Cuz London is drowning, and I live by the river

Verse 3: (All downstrokes)
London calling, yes, I was there, too
An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
After all this, won't you give me a smile?
London Calling...
Intro x2
"I never felt so much alike..."
