Proud Mary
John Fogerty, 1967· Songs Well-Known in America · p.258
Guitar Chord Riff:
C A C A C AGF D (Best done as barred chords up the neck)
D
Left a good job in the city,
Seen a lot of plates in Memphis,
If you come down to the river,
D G D G
Workin’ for the man, every night and day,
Pumped a lot of pain, down in New Or---leans,
Bet you’re gonna find some people who live,
D
But I never lost a minute of sleepin’,
But I never saw the good side of a city,
You don’t have to worry, ‘cause you got no money,
(D)
Worryin’ about the way things might have been.
‘Til I hitched a ride on the riverboat Queen.
People on a river are happy to give.
Chorus:
A G
Big wheel keep on turnin’, Proud Mary keep on burnin’
D G D
Rollin’, Rollin’, Rollin’ on a river.
(Repeat Guitar Chord Riff)
