Left a good job in the city, workin for the man every night
and day and I never lost one minute of sleepin’,
worryin’ ’bout the way things might
D Em
have been. Big wheel a-keep on turnin’ Proud Mary keep on burnin’,
G Em D G
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the river.
2nd verse:
G
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis, pumped a lot of pain
down in New Orleans, But I never saw the good side of the city,
till I hitched a ride
D Em
on a river boat queen. Big wheel akeep on turnin,
Proud Mary keep on
G Em D G
burnin, rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.
3rd verse:
G
If you come down to the river, bet you’re gonna find
some people who live, you don’t have to worry,
cause you have no money, people on the river are
D Em
happy to give. Big wheel keep on turnin, Proud Mary keep on burnin,
G Em D G
rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.
