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