London Calling

Year: 1979 - Album: Essential Clash

Written by Jones / Strummer

	  		 
I play this one differently from the posting at 
the archive.  Corrections welcome.  Turn the treble way up for best 
Mick Jones (or maybe Mr. Strummer) sound.  No solo except for  
heavy feedback on a high B note (listen to the record). 
 
 
 
 
Intro: 
Em    Am7    G    Am7 
 
 
Em                    Am7 
London calling to the faraway towns 
 
         Em                  G 
Now that war is declared and battle come down 
 
Em                    Am7 
London calling to the underworld 
 
     Em                           G 
Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls 
 
Em                  Am7 
London calling, now don't look to us 
 
Em                    G 
Phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust 
 
Em                     Am7 
London calling, see we ain't got no swing 
 
Em                        G 
Except for the ring of that truncheon thing 
 
Em                         G 
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in 
 
Em                    G 
Meltdown expected the wheat is growing thin 
 
Em                       G 
Engines stop running but I have no fear 
 
Em            Em7           D 
Cuz London is drowning and I live by the river 
 
 
 
Em                 Am7                 
 
 
 
London calling to the imitation zone 
Forget it brother, you can got 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 noddin' out 
London calling, see we ain't got no highs 
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes 
 
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 
Cuz London is drowning and I live by the river 
 
Now get this 
 
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 
An' after all this, won't you give me a smile? 
 
 
Em 
I never felt so much a' like...
