[Verse 1]
G5 /// G5 ///
We all came out to Montreux
G5 / F5 / G5 ///
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
G5 /// G5 ///
To make records with a mobile
G5 / F5 / G5 ///
We didn't have much time
G5 /// G5 ///
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
G5 / F5 / G5 ///
Were at the best place around
G5 /// G5 ///
But some stupid with a flare gun
G / F / G ///
Burned the place to the ground
[Chorus]
C5 /// G#5 /// G5 /// G5 ///
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
C5 /// G#5 ///
Smoke on the water...

[Verse 2]
G5 /// G5 ///
They burned down the gambling house
G5 / F5 / G5 ///
It died with an awful sound
G5 /// G5 ///
Funky Claude was running in and out
G5 / F5 /
Pulling kids out the ground
G5 /// G5 ///
When it all was over
G5 / F5 / G5 ///
We had to find another place
G5 /// G5 ///
But Swiss time was running out
G5 / F5 / G5 ///
It seemed that we would lose the race
[Chorus]
C5 /// G#5 /// G5 /// G5 ///
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
C5 /// G#5 ///
Smoke on the water...

[Verse 3]
G5 /// G ///
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
G5 / F5 / G5 ///
It was empty cold and bare
G5 /// G5 ///
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
G5 / F5 / G5 ///
Making our music there
G5 /// G5 ///
With a few red lights and a few old beds
G5 / F5 / G5 ///
We make a place to sweat
G5 /// G5 ///
No matter what we get out of this
G5 / F5 / G5 ///
I know, I know we'll never forget
[Chorus]
C5 /// G#5 /// G5 /// G5 ///
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
C5 /// G#5 ///
Smoke on the water...
