Proud Mary Chords & Tabs

Creedence Clearwater Revival Chords & Tabs

Version: 2 Type: Tab

Proud Mary Tab

   
I didn't tab this song myself, so no credit should be given to me, but I saw
there were only 2 (wrong) version on this site, so I decided to put this one on.
I've got this tab from creedence-online.com, so it should be correct.

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 have been.

D
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 on a river boat queen.
A                            
Big wheel a-keep on turnin,  
     Bm
Proud  Mary keep on burnin',

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 happy to give.
