Lavet af Daniel Jonassen I like to play this version in a shuffle rhythm on an acoustic guitar! (Easier if you transpose it +2 so it becomes Am instead of Gm). Sounds great that way. I know that the chords in the original song are powerchords (G5), but this version is an acoustic version meaning these are the full chords and not just powerchords. [Intro] |Gm Bb C Gm | Bb Db C |Gm Bb C Bb | Gm | (x6) [Verse 1]
We Gmall came out to Montreux On the Lake GenFeva Gmshoreline GmTo make records with a mobile F We didn't Gmhave much time GmFrank Zappa and the Mothers Were at the best Fplace arGmound GmBut some stupid with a flare gun Burned the place Fto the gGmround
[Chorus]
CSmoke on the Abwater,Gm a fire in the sky CSmoke on the Abwater
[Riff] |Gm Bb C Gm | Bb Db C |Gm Bb C Bb | Gm | (x2) [Verse 2]
GmThey burned down the gambling house It died with an Fawful sGmound GmA funky Claude was running in and out F Pulling Gmkids out the ground GmWhen it all was over We had to find aFnother plGmace GmBut Swiss time was running out It seemed that we would Flose the rGmace
[Chorus]
CSmoke on the Abwater,Gm a fire in the sky CSmoke on the Abwater
[Riff] |Gm Bb C Gm | Bb Db C |Gm Bb C Bb | Gm | (x2) [Solo] |Gm |Gm |Cm F |Gm | (x4) |C |C |F |F | [Riff] |Gm Bb C Gm | Bb Db C |Gm Bb C Bb | Gm | (x2) [Verse]
GmWe ended up at the Grand Hotel It was Fempty, Gmcold and bare GmBut with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside F Making our Gmmusic there GmWith a few red lights, a few old beds We made a Fplace to sGmweat GmNo matter what we get out of this I knowF, I know we'll Gmnever forget
[Chorus]
CSmoke on the Abwater,Gm a fire in the sky CSmoke on the Abwater
[Outro] |Gm Bb C Gm | Bb Db C |Gm Bb C Bb | Gm | (x4)
