SMOKE ON THE WATER - Deep Purple

Intro.: [G - Bb - C][G - Bb - C - C# - C][Bb - G]

 

[G]We all came [Bb]down to [G]Montreux

on the [F]Lake [C]Ge]neva [G]shoreline

To make records with the mobile

We didn't have much time

Frank Zappa and the mothers

were at the best place around

But some stupid with a flare-gun

burned the place to the ground

 

[C]Smoke on the [Ab]water

[G]a fire in the sky [groove - G - Bb - F]

[C]Smoke on the [Ab]water [intro]

 

They burned down the gambling house

it died with an awful sound

A 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

 

Refrão

 

We ended up at the Grand Hotel

it was empty cold and bare

But with the rolling truck stones thing outside

making our music there

With a few red lights and a few old beds

we made a place to sweat

No matter what we get out of this

I know well never forget

 

Refrão
