[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
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
[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
London calling and I don't wanna shout
But when 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
[Verse 3]
London calling, yeah, 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?
[Chorus]
Em Em Em Em G G G G
Em Em Em Em G G G G
Em Em Em Em G G G G
Em Em Em Em D D D D
D D D D
The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
London is drowning-and I live by the river

It doesn't go from Em to C, it goes from Em to Fmaj7 (x33210)
And the change after that is from G6 to G. Don't see why they didn't just accept my tab..... You've just oversimplified!

Great track. I play it like this:INTROEm to Fmaj7 (play them as barred A shapes on the 7th and 8th frets respectively). The Em is obviously just a simple Am shape played on the 7th fret, but the Fmaj7 is a lesser known shape so I'll tab it below.The Fmaj7 isE: 8B: 10G: 9D: 10A: 8E: XVERSEEm, Fmaj7, G in a 4,4,8 beat patternBRIDGE/CHORUS ("The ice age is coming")This is just Em to G repeated several times then build off a D as the last chord at the end.
