E♭m
We all came out to Montreux
on the lake G eneva sh oreline
To make records with a mobile
we d idn't have much time
Frank Zappa & the Mothers
were at t he best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
burned the pl ace to the ground.
E♭m
They burned down the gambling house
it died with a n awful sound
Funky & Claude was running in and out,
pulli ng kids out of the ground
When it all was over,
we had to f ind another place
Swiss time was running out
it seemed tha t we would lose the race.
E♭m
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
it was empty, cold and bare
But with the Rolling Trucks Stones thing just
outsi de, we made our music there
With a few red lights an' a few old beds,
we made a pl ace to sweat
No matter what we get out of this,
I know, I know we'll never forget.
