G#m We all came out to Montreux, F# G#m On the Lake Geneva shoreline. G#m To make records with the mobile, F# G#m We didnʼt have much time. G#m Frank Zappa and the Mothers, F# G#m Were the best place around. G#m But some stupids with a flare gun, F# G#m Burned the place to the ground. Chorus: C# A Smoke on the Water, G#m A fire in the sky. C# A Smoke on the water. G#m They burned down the gambling house F# G#m It died with an awful sound G#m Funky and Claude was running in and out F# G#m Pulling kids out the ground G#m When it all was over F# G#m We had to find another place G#m But Swiss time was running out F# G#m It seemed that we would lose the race Chorus: C# A Smoke on the Water, G#m A fire in the sky. C# A Smoke on the water. G#m We ended up at the Grand Hotel F# G#m It was empty cold and bare G#m But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside F# G#m Making our music there G#m With a few red lights and a few old beds F# G#m We make a place to sweat G#m No matter what we get out of this F# G#m I know weʼll never forget Chorus: C# A Smoke on the Water, G#m A fire in the sky. C# A Smoke on the water.
