Gm
We all came out to Montreux
Bb9 F Gm
on the lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
Bb9 F Gm
we didn't have much time
Frank Zappa & the Mothers
Bb9 F Gm
were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Bb9 F Gm
burned the place to the ground.
(1:25)
Gm
They burned down the gambling house
Bb9 F Gm
it died with an awful sound
Funky & Claude was running in and out,
Bb9 F Gm
pulling kids out of the ground
When it all was over,
Bb9 F Gm
we had to find another place
Swiss time was running out
Bb9 F Gm
it seemed that we would lose the race.
(2:28)
Gm
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
Bb9 F Gm
it was empty, cold and bare
But with the Rolling Trucks Stones thing just outside,
Bb9 F Gm
we made our music there
With a few red lights an' a few old beds,
Bb9 F Gm
we made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this,
Bb9 F Gm
I know, I know we'll never forget.
