       G                                C    Bb     G
    We all came out to Montreux, on the Lake Geneva shoreline,
                                   C Bb           G
    To make records with the Mobile,    we didn't have much time.
                                      C           Bb     G
    Frank Zappa and the Mothers, were at the best place around.
                                  C                Bb      G
    Some stupid with a flare gun, burned the place to the ground.



    CHORUS

    C             Bb     G
    Smoke, on the water, fire in the sky.
    C             Bb                       (fill -2x)
    Smoke, on the water.


    G                                       C            Bb     G
    They burned down the gamblin' house, it died with an awful sound.
                                           C Bb         G
    The funky claude was running in and out,    pullin' kids out the ground.
                             C             Bb    G
    When it all was over, we had to find another place,
                                   C                    Bb       G
    Swiss time was running out, it seemed that we would lose the race.

    (Chorus)

    (Instrumental)


    G                             C        Bb     G
    We ended up at the Grand Hotel, it was empty, cold and damp.
                                                        C Bb         G
    But with the rolling truck Stones thing just outside, making our music there
                                         C           Bb       G
    With a few red lights, a few old beds, we made a place to sweat,
                                      C        Bb            G
    no matter what, we get out of this, I know, I know we'll never forget.

    (Chorus)
