[Intro]
G Bb C G Bb Db-C G Bb C Bb G (6x)
[Verse 1]
G F G
We all came out to Montreux
F G
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
F G
To make records with a mobile
F G
We didn't have much time
G F G
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
F G
Were at the best place around
F G
But some stupid with a flare gun
F G
Burned the place to the ground
[Chorus]
C Ab G
Smoke on the water, and fire in the sky
C Ab G Bb C G Bb Db-C G Bb C Bb G (2x)
Smoke on the water
[Verse 2]
G F G
They burned down the gambling house
F G
It died with an awful sound
F G
A funky Claude was running in and out
F G
Pulling kids outa the ground
F G
When it all was over
F G
We had to find another place
F G
But Swiss time was running out
F G
It seemed that we would lose the race
[Chorus]
C Ab G
Smoke on the water, and fire in the sky
C Ab G Bb C G Bb Db-C G Bb C Bb G (2x)
Smoke on the water
[Solo]
G Bb C G Bb Db-C G Bb C Bb G (2x)
[Verse]
G F G
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
F G
It was empty cold and bare
F G
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
F G
Making our music there
F G F G
With a few red lights, a few old beds
F G
We made a place to sweat
F G
No matter what we get out of this
F G
I know, I know we'll never forget
[Chorus]
C Ab G
Smoke on the water, and fire in the sky
C Ab G Bb C G Bb Db-C G Bb C Bb G (6x)
Smoke on the water
