Smoke on the Water Deep Purple
I tried playing the others and they didn't sound right. So here is my version .
usually I mute the G string due to bad hand position, and it sounds fine.
G 3--5--5--4--3--3 A# 6--8--8--7--6--6 C 8--10-10-9--8--8 C# 9--11-11-10-9--9 F 1--3--3--2--1--1 G# 4--6--6--5--4--4
if in () it may not be right, but I play it like that.
Sometimes, I play the verses with the intro riff, and it sounds fine like that
too. Not sure which is right. Haven't heard the song in a while.
Intro: G A# C G A# C# C G A# C A# G

Verse 1:
We [G]all came out to Montreux
[G]On the Lake [F]Geneva sh[G]oreline
[G]To make records with a mobile
[G]We didn't [F]have much [G]time
[G]Frank Zappa and the Mothers

[G]Burned the pl[F]ace to the [G]ground

[C]Smoke on the [G#]water, [G] [(A#]fire i[C)]n the [(G]sky[A] [C#] [C)]
[C]Smoke on the [G#]water...
Intro Riff x2
Verse 2: Same as first
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
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
Chorus:
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
Smoke on the water...
Intro Riff x2
Solo: No idea, may update it later.
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 and a few old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know, I know we'll never forget
Chorus:
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
Smoke on the water...
Intro Riff x4
Instrumental Verse; fade out
