We all came out to montreux
DO RE LAmOn the lake geneva shoreline
LAmTo make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
LAmFrank zappa and the mothers
DO REWere at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
DO RE LAmBurned the place to the ground
RE FA LAm DO LAmSmoke on the water, fire in the sky
Smoke on the water...
They burned down the gambling house
DO RE LAmIt died with an awful sound
LAmFunky claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
LAmWhen it all was over
DO REWe had to find another place
But swiss time was running out
DO RE LAmIt seemed that we would lose the race
RE FA LAm DO LAmSmoke on the water, fire in the sky
LA DO RE LA DO MIb LA DO RE DO LALA DO RE LA DO MIb LA DO RE DO LA

We ended up at the grand hotel
It was empty cold and bare
LAmBut with the rolling truck stones thing just outside
DO RE LAmMaking our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
DO REWe make a place to sweat
LAmNo matter what we get out of this
I know we'll never forget
RE FA LAm DO LAmSmoke on the water, fire in the sky
