Standard Tuning
No Capo
Intro: just play D
Verse 1:
D
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
A Bm G
Big wheel a-keep on turnin' Proud Mary keep on burnin'
D
And we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river!
Solo: C#m / A#m / C#m / A#m / C#m / A#m / G#m / F# / G#m / D
C bar on 8 , A bar on 5, G bar on 3, F bar on 1. I'm not sure the names of the chords
are correct so play it like an F#m but on different frets. (That's why I named the frets above)
It sounds great like that!

Verse 2:
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.

D
And we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river!

Verse 3:

So if you come down to the river
Bet you're gonna find some people who live,
You don't have to worry, if you have no money
People on the river are happy to give.
A Bm G
Big wheel a-keep on turnin' Proud Mary keep on burnin'
D
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river!
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river!(till the end)
Have fun playing! Good luck!
