verse:
We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn’t have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But someone stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground

verse:
They Burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound

Butt Swiss time was running out
It seemed we would lose the race

*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
We made 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

(guitar same as the first verse)
