   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

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

C            G#         Gm
Smoke on the water, and fire in the sky
C            G#   Gm/ A#/ C/, Gm/ A#/ C#-C/, Gm/ A#/ C/, A# Gm/  (2x)
Smoke on the water

     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

C            G#         Gm
Smoke on the water, and fire in the sky
C            G#   Gm/ A#/ C/, Gm/ A#/ C#-C/, Gm/ A#/ C/, A# Gm/  (2x)
Smoke on the water

   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

C            G#         Gm
Smoke on the water, and fire in the sky
C            G#   Gm/ A#/ C/, Gm/ A#/ C#-C/, Gm/ A#/ C/, A# Gm/  (6x)
Smoke on the water
