The Clash: London Calling
From the album London Calling.
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...
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official THE CLASH tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
