[Verse 1]
Gm
We all came out to Montreux
F                                       Gm
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
Gm
To make records with a mobile
F                                 Gm
We didn\’t have much time
Gm
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
F                                 Gm
Were at the best place around
Gm
But some stupid with a flare gun
F                                                 Gm
Burned the place to the ground

[Chorus]
C                 Ab                                 Gm
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
C                                 Ab
Smoke on the water

[Verse 2]
Gm
They burned down the gambling house
F                                 Gm
It died with an awful sound
Gm
A funky 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                                 Gm
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
C                                 Ab
Smoke on the water

[Verse]
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, a few old beds
F                                 Gm
We made a place to sweat
Gm
No matter what we get out of this
F                                                 Gm
I know, I know we\’ll never forget

[Chorus]
C                 Ab                                 Gm
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
C                                 Ab
Smoke on the water
