   G5 ///
We all came out to Montreux

To make records with a mobile

We didn't have much time

Frank Zappa and the Mothers
     G5 ///
Were at the best place around

But some stupid with a flare gun

Burned the place to the ground

Smoke on the water,  fire in the sky

Smoke on the water...

They burned down the gambling house
   G5 ///
It died with an awful sound
G5 ///
Funky Claude was running in and out
F5 /  
Pulling kids out the ground

When it all was over

We had to find another place

Smoke on the water,  fire in the sky

Smoke on the water...

Verse 3:
G ///
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
G5 /// 
It was empty cold and bare
G5 ///
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
G5 ///
Making our music there
       G5 ///   
With a few red lights and a few old beds
G5 ///
We make a place to sweat
G5 ///
No matter what we get out of this
G5 ///     
I know, I know we'll never forget

Chorus:
G5 ///
Smoke on the water,  fire in the sky
G#5 ///
Smoke on the water...
