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