If a recording [N] was done overseas, so long as the overseas derived income wasn't remitted
into the UK, it wasn't taxed in the UK, what happened was that the boys had to become tax [G] exiles.

[G] [Bbm] [C] [Bb] A tax man didn't [C] like it.
[F] There had [G] been a bright young spark in the investigation [Bb] department [C] saying, [Bb] we can see
that you [Db] recorded [C] overseas, you don't believe that you didn't write in [Bb] the UK [G] before you went away.
We said, no, no, [Bb] the band [C] always [Gm] writes and records [Db] at the same [C] time, it's contemporaneous.
[Bb] On [C] Machine Head there's a track [Bb] called [G] Smoke on the Water and Machine Head was recorded
[Fm] [C] on [G] Lake Geneva [Db] and one [C] evening the casino [G] burnt [Bb] down across [C] the lake.
[Bb] The [G] boys came out with Smoke on the Water.
The [Bbm] recording [C] and the lyrics [G] and the [Db] music [C] were pretty [G] contemporaneous and therefore
the [C] whole album is [Bb] [G] contemporaneous, but it was Smoke on the Water that [C] actually saved
the boys [Db] millions and millions of [C] pounds.
