Proud Mery

Left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleep
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been
A
The big wheel keeps on turnin',
h
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
D
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
C A C A C A G F D
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of pain in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on the Riverboat Queen
C A C A C A G F D
If you come down to the river
Bet your gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry, cause you have no money
The people on the river are happy to give
”Proud Mary”, often erroneously called „Rollin' on the River”, is a song written by American singer and guitarist John Fogerty. It was first recorded by rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival (in which Fogerty played lead guitar and sang lead vocals) on the 1969 album Bayou Country. Released as a single in January 1969, it became the band’s first top-ten hit on the U.S. Pop chart, peaking at number two, or number one according to some charts. It was the first of five singles that the band released that would reach that peak on the chart, a record for most number-two singles for a group without ever having a number-one song. The song reached number eight in the UK.
