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
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
                       A                                 Bm
on a river boat queen. Big wheel a-keep on turnin,  Proud  Mary keep on
              D
burnin,  roll - in, rollin, rollin on the river. (fill 1)

repeat intro:

3rd verse:
D
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
                A                              Bm
happy to give.  Big wheel keep on turnin, Proud  Mary keep on burnin,
    D
roll - in,  rollin,  rollin on the river. (fill 1)  repeat and fade

SOLO:

All I have time to tell you is that most of it is alternating between
these two chords:  Bar your index finger at the 7th fret.
