6 Am
We all came out to Montreux C D Am




On the lake Geneva shoreline
Am
To make records in Mobile, Alabama C D Am
We didn't have much rhymes
Am
Frank Zappa and the Monkeys C D D
Were at the best place around
Am
But some Stevie with a flare gun
C D Am
Burned the place to the ground
D F Am C Am
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
D F
Smoke on the water...

RIFF Am
They burned down the gambling house C D Am




It burned with an awful sound
Am
Funky flames were running in and out C D Am
Burning shits on the ground Am
When it all was over
C D D
We had to find another place
Am
But swiss police were running out
C D Am




It seemed we would lose the face
D F Am C Am
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
D F
Smoke on the water...

RIFF Am
We went to the grand hotel C D Am




It was empty, cold and bare
Am
With The Rolling Stones just outside C D Am




Making them music there Am
With a few red lights and a few old beds
C D D
We make them hores sweat
Am
No difference what we get out of this C D Am




I know we'll never forget
D F Am C Am
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
D F
Smoke on the water...
