[Verse 1]
C
Left a good job in the city
C
Workin' for the man ev'ry night and day
C
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
C
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been

[Chorus]
G
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Am                  F
  Proud Mary keep on burnin'
  C                                      G
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

[Verse 2]
C                                    G
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
C
Pumped a lot of pane down in New Orleans
C
But I never saw the good side of the city
(Slide E-string down from fret 17 to 7)
    N.C
   'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen

[Chorus]
G
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Am                F
Proud Mary keep on burnin' 
                                         (F is a riff)
C                                      F          
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
C*
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

[Verse 3]
C
If you come down to the river
C
Bet you gonna find some people who live
C
You don't have to worry 'cause you have [if you got] no money
C                                         F
People on the river are happy to give

[Chorus]
G
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Am                  F
  Proud Mary keep on burnin'
  C                                Am   C
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river  (Yeah)
  C                                Am   C
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
