Verse 1:
Em* C7* London calling to the faraway towns, G Now that war is declared and battle come down. Em* C7* London calling to the underworld, G Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls. Em C7 London calling, now don't look at us, G All that phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust. Em C7 London calling, see we ain't got no swing, G 'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing.
Chorus 1:
Em G The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in, Em G Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin. C G A nuclear error, but I have no fear, Em D London is drowning-and I live by the river.
Verse 2:
Em* C7* London calling to the imitation zone, G Forget it, brother, an' go it alone. Em* C7* London calling upon the zombies of death, G Quit holding out and draw another breath. Em* C7* London calling and I don't wanna shout, G But when we were talking I saw you nodding out, Em* C7* London calling, see we ain't got no highs, G Except for that one with the yellowy eyes.
Chorus 2:
Em G The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in, Em G Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin. C G A nuclear error, but I have no fear, Em D London is drowning-and I live by the river.
Instrumental (with Lead Piano Accordion):

Chorus 3:
Em G The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in, Em G Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin. C G A nuclear error, but I have no fear, Em D London is drowning-and I live by the river.

Verse 3:
Em* C7* London calling, yeah, I was there, too, G An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true! Em* C7* London calling at the top of the dial, Em C After all this, won't you give me a smile?
Coda:
Em* C7* London calling... Em* C7* London calling... Em 'Ne-ver fe-lt s-o mu-ch a-l-i-v-e. (Fade)
