Gm We all came out to Montreux F Gm On the Lake Geneva shoreline Gm To make records with a mobile F Gm We didn't have much time Gm Frank Zappa and the Mothers F Gm Were at the best place around Gm But some stupid with a flare gun F Gm Burned the place to the ground Chorus: C G# Gm Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky C G# Smoke on the water They burned down the gambling house It died with an awful sound Funky Claude was running in and out Pulling kids out the ground When it all was over We had to find another place But Swiss time was running out It seemed that we would lose the race Chorus We ended up at the Grand Hotel It was empty cold and bare But with the Rolling-truck-Stones-thing just outside Making our music there With a few red lights, 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 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC  F  Gm  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
