Now that war is declared and Cbattle come down. Am* F7* London calling to the underworld, Come out of the cupboard, all you Cboys and girls. AmLondon calling, now F7don't look at us, All that phoney Beatlemania has Cbitten the dust. AmLondon calling, see we F7ain't got no swing, 'Cept for the ring of that Ctruncheon thing.
Chorus 1:
AmThe ice age is coming, Cthe sun is zooming in, AmEngines stop running and Cthe wheat is growing thin. FA nuclear error, but CI have no fear, AmLondon is drowning-and GI live by the river.
Verse 2: Am* F7* London calling to the imitation zone,
Forget it, brother, an' Cgo it alone. Am* F7* London calling upon the zombies of death, Quit holding out and Cdraw another breath. Am* F7* London calling and I don't wanna shout, But when we were talking I saw Cyou nodding out, Am* F7* London calling, see we ain't got no highs, Except for that one with Cthe yellowy eyes.
Chorus 2:
AmThe ice age is coming, Cthe sun is zooming in, AmEngines stop running and Cthe wheat is growing thin. FA nuclear error, but CI have no fear, AmLondon is drowning-and GI live by the river.
Instrumental (with Lead Piano Accordion): | Am* | F* | | Am* | F* | | Am* | F* | | Am* | F* | (Wah, ah, ah-aha-hah!) Chorus 3:
AmThe ice age is coming, Cthe sun is zooming in, AmEngines stop running and Cthe wheat is growing thin. FA nuclear error, but CI have no fear, AmLondon is drowning-and GI live by the river.
Bridge: | Am* | F* | | Am* | F* | | Am* | F* | | Am* | F* | (Sing it now) Verse 3: Am* F7* London calling, yeah, I was there, too,
An' you know what they said? Well, Csome of it was true! Am* F7* London calling at the top of the dial, AmAfter all this, won't Fyou give me a smile?
Coda: Am* F7* London calling... Am* F7* London calling...
Am'Ne-ver fe-lt s-o mu-ch a-l-i-v-e. (Fade) P.A. (Over) "Jo-e Strum-mer"
