(2x Riff w/o bass)
(2x Riff w/ bass)
-- Verse
We all came out to Montreux on the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile, we didn't have much time now
Frank Zappa and the Mothers were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun burned the place to the ground
-- Chorus
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
(Smoke) on the water, you guys are great
-- Verse
They burned down the gambling house it died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out he was pulling kids out the ground now
When it all was over we had to find another place
Swiss time was running out it seemed that we would lose the race
-- Chorus
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
-- Bridge
(Solo)
-- Verse
We ended up at the Grand Hotel it was empty, cold and bare
The Rolling truck Stones thing just outside making our music there now
With a few red lights and a few old beds we made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this I know, I know we'll never forget
-- Chorus
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
