Smoke On The Water by Deep Purple (Chords & Lyrics)

    Smoke On The Water by Deep Purple

    We all came down to Montreux
    on the Lake Geneva 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
    
    Smoke on the water
    a fire in the sky
    Smoke on the water
    
    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
    
    Smoke on the water
    a fire in the sky
    Smoke on the water
    
    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
    
    Smoke on the water
    a fire in the sky
    Smoke on the water
