Creedence Clearwater Revival - Proud Mary (Album: Bayou Country (1968)) INTRO: G E G E; G E-D-C A A Left a good job in the city Working for the man every night and day And I never lost one minute of sleep Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been E The big wheel keeps on turnin', F#m Proud Mary keeps on burnin' A Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river A Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river INTRO: G E G E; G E-D-C A Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis Pumped a lot of pain in New Orleans But I never saw the good side of the city Till I hitched a ride on the Riverboat Queen [Chorus] If you come down to the river Bet your gonna find some people who live You don't have to worry, if you have no money The people on the river are happy to give [Chorus]
