We all came out to Montroux

Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground

They Burned down the gambling house

*release the bend slowly while you hit the string
several times so that the last note is played at
the end of the first riff

play the riff a 2nd time

verse:   (guitar stops, drum, bass and organ go on)
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 weÂ’ll never forget

(guitar same as the first verse)
