Chords for Deep Purple - Smoke On The Water Live (1973, New York)

_ _ _ _ _ _ Ladies and gentlemen, Deep Purple.
Just about a couple of years ago now we were in Montreux in Switzerland, recording the Machine Head album.
And this [C] song here tells the story of _ [G] most of the things that happened while we were out there.
Particularly the burning down of the casino the night we were there watching [Cm] the show.
_ [G] And all the other _ affiliated hassles that we had.
_ Over the period of time that we were there.
_ Smoke on the walls of this room.
_ We [Gb] were trying to make a record _ [D] without [Ab] using a studio.
[G] That was the basic reason we were there.
We [D] wanted to make a recording in a live venue.
Basically [Cm] for the sound.
[D] And the casino in Montreux, [F] Switzerland.
[A] _ _
If you were doing a tour of Europe, [G] you'd play there.
And the guy who was organizing it, [Db] Claude [C] Noms, said,
_ [G] _
Don't put your gear in yet, because there's one more show to [F] go before you do it.
[C] It's a matinee tomorrow [F] afternoon.
Frank Zappa and his [C] mother's.
3 o'clock.
[Gm] Do you want to go?
[C] Sure.
[G] And about an hour into the show, _ someone fired a flare gun into the ceiling.
Which was made of false ceiling bamboo.
Literally within five minutes, the place was in inferno.
It burned all the afternoon, all the evening.
[Db] And the next morning, they [C] were still [G] smoldering.
[C] Huge fire.
And [G] it's amazing that no one got hurt. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
Stupid flare gun. _ _
Burned the place [F] to the [G] ground.
_ _ _ [C] _
Smoke [Ab] from the boat.
_ [G] Fire in the sky.
_ Get on it.
[C] _
Smoke [Ab] from the boat.
[Gm] Now. _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [Bb] _ [G] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [Bb] _ [G] _ [E] They _ [G] burned the damn house.
It died [F] with an awful [G] sound.
[Bb] _ _ _ [G] _
Rookie Claude was running in and out.
He [F] was [G] pulling kids out.
_ _ When it all was over, _ had [F] to find another place.
[G] _ _ _ First time was running out.
It seemed that [F] we would lose the race.
_ _ [C] _ Smoke [Ab] from the boat.
_ _ [Gm] Fire in the sky.
_ _ _ _ [C] Smoke [Ab] from the _ _ [Gm] boat. _
