We all came out to Montreux
G5 A5
On the lake Geneva shoreline
A5
To make records with a mobile
G5 A5
We didn't have much time
A5
Frank Zappa & the Mothers
G5
Were at the best place around
A5
But some stupid with a flare gun
G5 A5
Burned the place to the ground.

Smoke on the water,

Fire in the sky

They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky & Claude was running in and out,
Pulling kids out of the ground
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: Slow arpegio (qqh), D5 (1x) Bb5 (1X) A5 (2x)

Riff 2x


VERSE 3: Fast arpegio (eeq) with palm mute, A (5x) G (1x ) A (2x)

We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty, cold and bare
But with the Rolling Trucks Stones thing just outside,
We made our music there
With a few red lights an' 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: Slow arpegio (qqh), C5 (1x) Ab (1X) G5 (1x)

Riff (loop and fade out)
