SMOKE ON THE WATER
Deep Purple

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)
