<< Back to Creedence Clearwater Revival Song List
Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4
Taken from a live youtube video - basically the same but CCR seem to be
playing in E but I play in D and it fits in with what CCR are playing?
Some of the lyrics seem slightly different but could just be my hearing!
[Intro]
C A C A C A G F F D
[Verse 1]
D
Left a good job in the city
D
Workin' for the man ev'ry night and day
D
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
D
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been
[Chorus]
A
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Bm
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
D
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
[Verse 2]
D
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
D
Pumped a lot of pane down in New Orleans
D
But I never saw the good side of the city
D
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
[Chorus]
A
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Bm
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
D
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
C A C A C A G F F D

If you come down to the river
D
Betcha gonna find some people who live
D
You don't have to worry though you have no money

People on the river are happy to give

Big wheel keep on turnin'

Proud Mary keep on burnin'

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
