The intro goes something like...

|-------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------|
|---3-----------3---3---------3---5-3-/7-5-3---3--------|
|-5-----5-3---5---5---5-3---5----------------5---5-3----|
|----------------------------------------------------5--|

I think that Fogerty bends the 2 on the D string every once in a while just to give it 
some pizzazz.

Then...

"Some people laugh in the dark..."
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---3-----------3---3---------3---5-3---/7-5-3---3--------|
|-5-----5-3---5---5---5-3---5------------------5---5-3----|
|------------------------------------------------------5--|

"Some people count your money..."
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---3-----------3---3---------3---5-3---/7-5-3---3--------|
|-5-----5-3---5---5---5-3---5------------------5---5-3----|
|------------------------------------------------------5--|

Then comes the bridge, which is something along the lines of...

|---------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|
|---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7-|
|---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7-|
|-5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---|
|---------------------------------|     and etc.

A second guitar plays these notes throughout the bridge...

|--6----6----6----6----6-5----6-5--|
|--6----6----6----6----6-6----6-6--|
|--7----7----7----7----7-7----7-7--|
|----------------------------------|
|----------------------------------|
|----------------------------------|

And then a brief but incredibly cool solo...

"Brothers'll make you look sidways..."
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---3-----------3---3---------3---5-3---/7-5-3---3--------|
|-5-----5-3---5---5---5-3---5------------------5---5-3----|
|------------------------------------------------------5--|

|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|---3-----------3---3---------3---5-3---/7-5-3-----------|
|-5-----5-3---5---5---5-3---5------------------5--3---5--|
|--------------------------------------------------------|

Short break...

Rhythym guitar plays an A#7 then an G7, I think. Or a transition of it. And then after a 
while it goes down to an F, then up to an G.

Another bridge riff...

|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|-----8------6--------------------8------6----------------|
|-------------------8------6--------------------8------6--|
|-6-6----6-6----6-6----6-6----6-6----6-6----6-6----6-6----|

|------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----8------6--------------------8------6-------------------|
|-------------------8------6--------------------8------6-7-8-|
|-6-6----6-6----6-6----6-6----6-6----6-6----6-6----6-6-------|

Strum on an F7 transition for a while, then...

|-----------------------------|
|-----------------------------|
|-----------------------------|
|-----8------6----------------|
|-------------------8------6--|
|-6-6----6-6----6-6----6-6----|

Rattle on an A#7 and then you are done.
