🤘 Verse 1:

  Gm
We all came out to Montreux
       F  Gm
On the Lake Geneva shoreline

To make records with a mobile
F     Gm
We didn't have much time
G
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
         F   Gm
Were at the best place around

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

A funky Claude was running in and out
F    Gm
Pulling kids outa the ground

When it all was over
        F   Gm
We had to find another place

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 3:

Gm
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
    F   Gm
It was empty cold and bare

But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
F     Gm
Making our music there

With a few red lights, a few old beds
     F    Gm
We made a place to sweat

No matter what we get out of this
    F       Gm
I know, I know we'll never forget


🤘 Chorus:

C      Ab  G
Smoke on the water a fire in the sky

C      Ab
Smoke on the water
