Biography:
The Calling was a rock band from Los Angeles, California. The band started off with Alex Band (vocals) teaming up with Aaron Kamin (guitars) after the pair became friends as teenagers (Kamin was dating Band's sister at the time), and they signed a development deal with RCA. Their first album, Camino Palmero, was issued in July 2001, and it became a hit on the strength of its first single, "Wherever You Will Go". The track, a top 40 hit in twelve different countries, brought the group surprise success.

[Verse]
Em F
London calling to the faraway towns
G
Now that war's declared and battle coming down
Em F
London calling to the underworld
G
Come out of the cupboard all you boys and girls
Em F
London calling, now don't look at us
G
The phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
Em F
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
G
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing
[Chorus]
Em G
The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Em G
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Em G
The engines stopped running, but I have no fear
Em D Em
'Cause London is drowning and I live by the river
[Verse]
Em F
London calling to the imitation zone
G
Forget it, brother, you can go it alone
Em F
London calling to the zombies of death
G
Quit holding out, and draw another breath
Em F
London calling, and I don't wanna shout
G
But while we were talking, I saw you nodding out
Em F
London calling, see we ain't got no highs
G
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes
[Chorus]
Em G
The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Em G
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Em G
The engines stopped running, but I have no fear
Em D Em
'Cause London is drowning and I live by the river
D Em
Oh I, I live by the river yeah
