Bm

Somebody's shouting up at a mountain

Only my own words return

Nobody's up there, it's a deception

D Em

When will I ever learn

Bm

I'm alone here

G Bm D

With emptiness eagles and snow

G Bm D

Unfriendliness chilling my body

G Bm G

And whispering pictures of home

Riff

Verse 2

Wondering blindly how can they find me

Maybe they don't even know

My body is shaking, anticipating

The call of the black footed crow

I'm alone here

With emptiness, eagles and snow

Unfriendliness chilling my body

And taunting with pictures of home

Guitar solo: Bm

Verse 3

Here in this prison of my own making

Year after day I have grown

Into a hero but there's no worship

Where have they hidden my thrown

I'm alone here

With emptiness, eagles and snow

Unfriendliness chilling my body

And screaming out pictures of home

Organ solo: Bm

Bass solo:

Riff

Gm

We all came out to Montreux

On the Lake Geneva shoreline

To make records with a mobile

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

Riff (2 X)

Gm (Verse 2)

They burned down the gambling house

It died with an awful sound

Funky Claude was running in and out

Pulling kids out of ground

When it all was over

We had to find another place

Swiss time was running on

It seemed that we would lose the race

Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky

Smoke on the water

Riff (2 X)

Guitar solo

Riff (2 X)

Gm (Verse 3)

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

C Ab7 Gm

Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky

C Ab7

Smoke on the water
