VERSE ONE
(A) There will be a Sad Day Comin'
For the Foes of all Mankind
They must Answer to the People
And it's (B) Troubling their (E) Mind
Ever-(A)-body who must Fear Them
Will Rejoice on that Great Day
When the Powers of Dictators
Shall be (B7) Taken (E) all A-(A) way
CHORUS
(A) There'll be Smoke On The Water
On the Land and the Sea
When Our Army and Navy over-(B)-take the En-e-(A)-my
There'll be (A) Smoke on the Mountain
Where the Heathen Gods Stay
And the Sun that is Shinin'
Will go (B7) Down (E) on that (A) Day
VERSE TWO.
Hirohito 'long with Hitler
Will be Ridin' on a Rail
Mussolini'll Beg for mercy
As a Leader he has Failed
There's be no Time for Pity
When the Screamin' Eagle Flies
That will be the End of Axis
They must Answer with their Lives
CHORUS
(A) There'll be Smoke On The Water
On the Land and the Sea
When Our Army and Navy over-(B)-take the En-e-(A)-my
There'll be (A) Smoke on the Mountain
Where the Heathen Gods Stay
And the Sun that is Shinin'
Will go (B7) Down (D) on that (A) Day
