I like to play this version in a shuffle rhythm on an acoustic guitar! (Easier if you transpose it +2 so it
becomes Am instead of Gm). Sounds great that way.
I know that the chords in the original song are powerchords (G5), but this version is an acoustic version
meaning these are the full chords and not just powerchords.

[Verse 1]
Gm We all came out to Montreux F Gm On the Lake Geneva shoreline Gm To make records with a mobile F Gm We didn't have much time Gm Frank Zappa and the Mothers F Gm Were at the best place around Gm But some stupid with a flare gun F Gm Burned the place to the ground

[Verse 2]
Gm They burned down the gambling house F Gm It died with an awful sound Gm A funky Claude was running in and out F Gm Pulling kids out the ground Gm When it all was over F Gm We had to find another place Gm But Swiss time was running out F Gm It seemed that we would lose the race

Gm We ended up at the Grand Hotel F Gm It was empty, cold and bare Gm But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside F Gm Making our music there Gm With a few red lights, a few old beds F Gm We made a place to sweat Gm No matter what we get out of this F Gm I know, I know we'll never forget
